![]() ![]() Because of budget cuts, everyone at Westminster Abbey is a cardboard cut-out. The actual royal family are injured when performing an entertainment routine and so it is up to one of the Goodies, Tim Brooke-Taylor, to impersonate the injured queen in a re-creation of the coronation.Īnother Goodie (also a man) takes the place of Princess Anne. The Goodies made their parody of the coronation in the year of Elizabeth’s silver jubilee in an episode packed with bizarre and disrespectful comedy. ![]() One of the most outrageously disrespectful depictions of a televised coronation is a 1977 episode of the famous comedy series The Goodies. British television’s respect in 1953 has given way to parody, comedy and sensationalism. The tasteful planning in 1953 to preserve the holiness of the coronation contrasts with other versions of the coronation on British television. ![]()
