"'''The Greenies'''" (also known as "'''Army Games'''"{{citation needed|date=September 2019}}) is an episode of the [[United Kingdom|British]] [[comedy]] television series ''[[The Goodies (TV series)|The Goodies]]''. Written by [[The Goodies]], with songs and music by Bill Oddie.

==Plot==
The Goodies have been packing for a holiday to the seaside, but the coastal resorts have been compromised by pollution and military activity, so they decide to stay home until Tim remembers a beautiful, quiet village down the coast of Cornwall from his childhood called Penrudden Cove.

When they arrive, the village is completely deserted with no locals. The Vicar is the only villager left. He welcomes the trio to stay and explains why the others have left the village.

The Goodies are disgusted when they discover that the [[British Army|Army]] is building a [[military]] establishment on what was supposed to be a children's playground.

Disguised as members of the military, they provide the plans to the [[soldier]]s who are to build the equipment. The Goodies "assist" the Army and their plans lead to the Army 'equipment' looking more like a children's playground than the sleek military equipment the Army is expecting.

Then the Army gets another shock — the people, who the Goodies had arranged to turn up to test the equipment, are not exactly what the Army had been expecting to see.
