The Goon Show Summary

The Goon Show: Volume 15: The Goons at Christmas by Spike Milligan

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 - but watch out for flying custard puddings. It's the time of goodwill and custard so join the festive fun with Scrooge and Neddie Scratchit in A Christmas Carol (by kind permission) and follow the lost chords of The Mighty Wurlitzer hot foot across the Sahara. Or take a bow in the panto with Neddie Hood and soothing Friar Balsam in Ye Bandit of Sherwood Forest, and mix it with the military as the Goons make a patriotic pudding for a Combined Services overseas special in Operation Christmas Duff. Yes folks, it's a stocking-full of unmissable Goonery that will have you brimming over with Christmas cheer! 2 CDs. 2 hrs 1 minute.

Born in Oldham in 1923 Eric Sykes was first introduced to showbusiness whilst in the RAF and went on to write for hit BBC radio shows and appear in TV variety shows whilst writing for comedy greats such as Peter Sellers and Frankie Howerd.

Larry Stephens was a scriptwriter who wrote for several popular comedy shows in the 1950s, including The Tony Hancock Show and The Army Game.
