The Goon Show

by Spike Milligan, Eric Sykes, Larry Stephens, and Spike MilliganLarry Stephens

Published 2 October 1995

Goon but not forgotten. From 1951 to 1960 the Goons ruled the airwaves, the most celebrated and influential clowns in the history of radio. GO ON - it's way out West time for every son of Goon so fill up the horses with three gallons of hay. Or give up smoking with sputtering Nicotine Ned of Wales; face the terrible tortures of the BBC Listening Room (watch out, it's Mrs Dale's Diary) or save shifting Fort Thud with the help of shifty Seagoon. Yes, folks, for the first time on your radio screen you can do all this through another crazy quartet of cult comedy classics: The Call of the West, The Last Smoking Seagoon, 1985 and Shifting Sands. What's a hendu? It lays eggs. 2 CDs. 2 hrs 4 mins.
