The Goon Show was a British radio show that started
in 1951 and ran until 1960. It changed the face of British comedy
and still maintains its influence to this day!
The
Goons included Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe. They
burst onto
the radio with surreal storylines, absurd logic, puns, catchphrases
and groundbreaking
sound effects. They ridiculed the pomposity of those in authority
and laughed
at
the stupidity of mankind.
Characters such as Ned Seagoon, Eccles, Bluebottle,
Major Bloodnok, Minnie Bannister, Henry Crun,
Grytpype-Thynne and Moriarty all helped to create an alternative and
ludicrous view of the world.
Few comedies in the UK have endured so well. Episodes
are still repeated around the world and the BBC continues to
release
them
on CD. So if you are an old time fan or a Goon Show novice, hopefully
this site will allow your enjoyment to continue.
