Hype Pressure

"Hype Pressure" is an episode of the award-winning British comedy television series The Goodies.

Having run out of awful acts to humiliate, he overhears Bill and Graeme in the Goodies' office trying to write a new single and ending up trying to perform like folk singers.

Worse yet, Tim has turned into a sock-selling conman and a TV director, and the boys have been called for two years in the army as National Service has been reinstated.

The next day, Tim fools Graeme and Bill into thinking that his revivalist stuff has gone stale and invites them to appear on another of his hideous shows, Superficial with Tim as a flamboyant, white-haired director who begins cue-ing every sort of thing while Bill and Graeme perform as a hippie duo, including the return of World War II.

After Tim, Graeme and Bill "cues" in various foes, Kitten Kong and the Giant Dougal make brief cameo appearances, as do the special effects team working the strings, Bill and Graeme cue a "Party Political Broadcast" starring Margaret Thatcher, which beats Tim into submission.
