Originally intended to be the Australian version of “The Goodies – At Last A Second Helping”.  However, the Australian set went into production before mastering of the UK set was finished (to ensure it would be available in time for the Goodies live shows in Australia starting 4 March 2005).  Due to this the Australian set is missing some of the special features included in the UK set, specifically the colour version of Come Dancing, the restoration featurette, The Goodies in Conversation featurette, the commemorative booklet  and the original script PDFs.

Instead of recycling packing from the earlier Australian sets, entirely new artwork was created for The Tasty Box.  An outer cardboard case contains a single insert, which folds out to reveal the 4 DVDs plus the same booklet that came with the UK release The Goodies - At Last A Second Helping.

 

The set contains the digitally restored episodes Tower of London, Gender Education, Kitten Kong, The Goodies and the Beanstalk, Kung Fu Kapers, Lighthouse Keeping Loonies, Earthanasia, Saturday Night Grease.

The Goodies – The Tasty Tin (DVD)

 

Australian Release, EzyDVD Exclusive Collectible - PAL Region 4.  4 disks.

 

EzyDVD Item number 789717

Released 6 December 2006.  509 minutes (including bonus features)

 

While the tin's cover artwork and title are almost identical to The Tasty Box set, it actually consists of a collector's tin exclusive to Australian retailer EzyDVD (available from http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/789717) and the two previously and separately released titles The Goodies - 8 Delicious Episodes and The Goodies - A Tasty Second Helping.  Because of this, The Tasty Tin DOES NOT include all the bonus features available in The Tasty Box.  Please see the listings above for additional details.

 

The metal tin itself is a nice collectible, given its colorful graphics.  However, if you only want to buy one Australian DVD box with as many bonus features as possible The Tasty Box would be a better choice.
