"**Dodonuts**" is an episode of the [British](/source/United_Kingdom) [comedy](/source/Comedy) television series *[The Goodies](/source/The_Goodies_(TV_series))*.

Written by [The Goodies](/source/The_Goodies), with songs and music by Bill Oddie.

## Plot

Bill is upset when he discovers that Tim and Graeme have become obsessive [hunters](/source/Hunting). Tim and Graeme belong to the [Endangered Species](/source/Endangered_species) Club. They are especially interested in hunting endangered species and non-endangered species like farm animals, urban animals, local animals and domestic animals because the small numbers make them hard to find. On the other hand, Tim and Graeme consider that [common species](/source/Common_species) animals and birds are too [abundant](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/abundant) and therefore far too easy to hunt.

Later, Graeme finds a [dodo](/source/Dodo) (the last one in existence) in a pet shop, and brings it home to Bill, who then has to keep the bird safe from the other two. Tim asks Graeme about the price of the dodo: "Was it going cheap?" "No," said Graeme, "it was going ERRRRKKKK!!!"

When Bill teaches the dodo how to fly (for the dodo's own protection), the method of [flight](/source/Flight) is rather unusual for a bird.
