The Goodies go to the beach for a swim, but discover that the water is polluted. Then they notice how widespread the pollution is. They discover that the Ministry for Pollution is responsible for the problem. The Goodies arrange for widespread grass to overcome the pollution, by seeding the clouds with grass seeds, and the results are far beyond their wildest dreams. Cars can no longer be driven, because the streets cannot be seen, and everybody grows grass instead of hair. Lawn mowers are in fashion as transport — also in fashion are tiny garden ornaments and scarecrows which are made especially for wearing in people's hair. Birds also profit by being able to build nests in the hair. Although all seems to be idyllic, the Goodies find that there is an unexpected drawback to their environmental solution to the problem.

When Graeme brings home a girl whom he and Tim consider a bimbo, Graeme and Tim discuss her in a very sexist manner. Bill, horrified at their disparagement of women, pretends to be a woman and reports Tim's and Graeme's behaviour to the Women's Liberation Authority. This results in a visit to the Goodies' office by the frightening Barbara, who arranges for Tim and Graeme to work for her father (Charlie), who is chauvinistic. Graeme is treated well in his role of butler — but Tim, who is forced to work as the housemaid ("Timbellina"), has to do all of the work, as well as having to put up with a lot of sexist behaviour from the master of the house. Later, things change, with Bill reverting back to normal — while Tim, as "Timbellina", takes up the cause on behalf of women. (Details taken from Wikipedia)

The Goodies go to a Symphonic Orchestra, but the musicians get stolen. When they get home they find out that this is happening all over the country and that all of the live music shows have been replaced with discotheques. So they try to become famous magicians themselves to get stolen thus finding out who is doing it.
The Goodies have become Advertising Men and Tim is horrified at the lies they tell about the products they advertise. Tim wants them to advertise about string, because he is of the opinion that string is pure.
Tim is fishing in the lake for Graeme's fish farm when a trawler arrives. Tim waves a welcome to the crew, and is upset when the crew are unfriendly in return. When Tim returns to the fish farm, it is found that the ship's crew are Eskimos, who have arrived in Britain to take cod back home to make fish fingers. (Taken from Wikipedia)

It is very late Christmas Eve and Bill wants to go out. However, before he can leave, there is an announcement that the world is going to end at midnight. There is general widespread panic, but shoppers are still interested in reaching stores, including Harrods, for their closing down sales.
