"Saturday Night Grease" is an episode of the award-winning British comedy television series The Goodies.

This episode is also known as "Discotheque".

Written by The Goodies, with songs and music by Bill Oddie.

Tim is feeling upset. The local disco doesn't want him visiting there. Tim can't understand what the problem is — he has the grease for his hair, the light blue shirt, a bathplug on a chain around his neck (as a pendant), tight black skinny trousers and the . Tim is also jealous of John Travolta because he has Livvy and Tim wants her. Indeed, Tim has replaced his treasured photo of Queen Elizabeth II with a photo of Olivia Newton-John (Bill, who had expected Tim to still have a photo of Queen Elizabeth, is shocked at the discovery). Tim thinks that disco is all about the pose — and nothing else. Graeme, surprised, says: "You've seen Saturday Night Fever, haven't you?" to which Tim responds: "certainly not, it's an X-film, I'd be frightened."

Graeme and Bill are accompanying Tim to the disco. Tim is now dressed in his John Travolta-style white disco shirt. Then Bill enters, dressed in evening wear and singing: "My top hat, wearing my white tie, brushing up my tails, my cane, and my taps" (referring to his 'Tap shoes' — with real faucets on the toes of his shoes). When Graeme enters the room dressed up like a ballet dancer, saying: "Bill, take it seriously," Tim is surprised and asks: "Graeme, why are you dressed as a woman?" to which Graeme replies: "What! Three chaps going out dancing together? People would stare at us!" When Tim confesses his inability to dance, Graeme teaches him to do the Disco heave – a dance that Tim believes is Graeme attempting to set him up (until he sees everyone in the disco doing the dance).
