Now, if that's such a clever series of puns, what on earth whas the pun behind the name of the boys' putative housekeeper in "The Goodies' Book Of Criminal Records"?
It was "Mrs Edna Tole (Mrs)".
Am I missing something? Is it a joke? Is it a veiled reference to something? They weren't usually the sorts to let a chance for a gag slip by.

Tole, my mother told me at the time, is Scots slang for turd.

Edna Tole... Ed Na Tole... Head in...? Nope. Still puzzled.

I can't make "Edna Tole" of it.
No, that doesn't work either. I'm going with the turd suggestion, for the lack of anything better.
Unlike most Goodies jokes that went over my head at the age of eight, that one still has me foxed.
