Featuring: African Incident, Tiddlywinks, Giant Bombardon, The Tay Bridge.
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 a world tour with Neddie & Co as they get captured on military inaction in Africa and forced to swim the ice-cold Kupatee (there’s nothing worse than a cold Kupatee), play tiddlywinks at the Palace (will this lead to a knighthood, Ned?), bombard the Russians in Crimea with a mighty cannon (and some terrible jokes) and don their kilts for a wee bit of Scottish bridge building.
So savour four more classic capers from the wider wireless realms of those well travelled Goonatics Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Harry Secombe with guests Cecile Chevrau, John Snagge, George Chisholm and Valentine Dyall.
