Cecily is an episode of the British comedy television series The Goodies.

This episode is also known by the title: Servants

[edit] Plot

The Goodies are asked to take care of Cecily, while her Uncle and Aunt (whom she lives with) are away for a day and night. It seems to be easy money for the Goodies, so they agree. Tim is to be Cecily's nanny, Bill is to be the cook, and Graeme is to be the gardener.

The Goodies ride their trandem to the house and meet Cecily's mysterious Aunt and Uncle, as well as Cecily.

Cecily appears to be everything a nanny could wish for — gentle and sweet. Cecily tells her new nanny (Tim) that she is not allowed to love her nannies and that her Uncle and Aunt immediately get rid of any nannies whom she shows affection to. Cecily immediately follows her comment by telling her new nanny that she loves 'her' — and Tim begins to feel very uneasy. Bill struggles in the kitchen, trying to turn frozen pastry slices into a pie for Cecily's meal — and Graeme's efforts with growing plants in the garden work to such an extent that the garden 'takes over' the house.

The Goodies spend a wakeful and terrified night in the house, and find that things are not all they seem to be.

[edit] Trivia

The intermission sketch is an ad for "Razz" washing powder, in which Graeme played the interviewer and Tim played the role of the "old lady".

• Tim's "old lady" character in the sketch was also featured in Marty Feldman's sketch comedy Marty about 1968, a short time before The Goodies commenced.
• When this ad was played in the radio series "I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again", Graeme played the role of the interviewer (as he does in the episode "Cecily") — and Bill played the role of the old lady who is too stupid to know a good thing when she sees it.
