Anarchic, ground-breaking and hilariously inventive, The Goon Show re-shaped comedy and set new standards in the genre. The mix of brilliant wordplay, mental slapstick and surreal clowning ensures the popularity of Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe will never wane.
GO ON - take your seats for the time-warp as Sir Walter Raleigh loads his treasure on the good ship Venus, the Hon. Harold Bowels MP gets the Needle from Cleopatra, Neddie, the 6,000-year-old Plasticine Man is unearthed at Stonehenge and secret agent Capt. Hairy Seagoon tracks down the Russian time machine in a special edition recorded for the BBC Transcription Service. Only the esteemed Time Lords Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Harry Secombe can do all this through the truly timeless wireless wizardry of The Goon Show And how is Mein Herr this morning? Going a bit thin on top.
Featuring The Reason Why, The Treasure in the Tower, The Plasticine Man, The Silent Bugler.
