"Kitten Kong" is an episode of the award-winning British comedy television series The Goodies.
Written by The Goodies, with songs and music by Bill Oddie.
Bill is cooking when Graeme and Tim return from chess championships. Graeme and Tim are hungry, and want their dinner — however, there is only soggy lettuce and potato peel to eat because Bill feeds their normal food (and wine) to "Bunter", a guinea pig. Clearing away Bunter's plate, knife and fork, Bill comments: "...and now for his pudding." "His what!?" asked Tim in a surprised voice, to which Bill replies: "His pudding, lemon meringue, bombe alaska and a cherry on top, yum yum." "Ruddy 'ell," Tim exclaims. Bill is shocked at Tim's attitude and comments: "Surely you're not resentful to a little kindness to one of our dumb friends," to which Tim replies: "Look the only dumb friend I've got is you."
When Bill explains to Tim and Graeme that he is being paid £30 to look after the guinea pig, and the thought of being able to get some extra money leads to the Goodies setting up the office as the "Goodies Animal Clinic" for 'loony animals'. Graeme sends Tim and Bill out to collect them from their owners. The Goodies' animal 'patients' include a gigantic-sized snake, a gold fish, a hen (which escapes from the basket en route to the office), a large dog, a bushbaby, a tortoise, a mongoose, a vampire bat, two singing dogs, and a tiny fluffy white kitten called "Twinkle".
Graeme's specially formulated growth mixture, which he feeds to the kitten, causes Twinkle to grow to super-size proportions. Graeme keeps Twinkle inside to stop him from wandering, but Bill decides to let Twinkle out for the night. Graeme, speaking with desperation in his voice, says urgently: "Come on. We've got to find him and catch him before he eats someone he shouldn't." Tim comments: "Don't you mean something he shouldn't?", to which Graeme replies: "I know what I mean!"
