 The success of The Goons on radio inevitably lead to work in television and films, and attempts to move The Goon Show on to the screen. The obvious problem was that Goon humour is so surreal, often being based around ludicrous situations, that it couldn't be transferred directly onto screen. The Goons were well aware of this, with some shows including the quote - "I'd like to see them do that on television!". However, Goon humour is more than just pretending to do the impossible. Screen based humour may be more limited in many ways, but the same distorted view of reality, bizarre characters and crazy ideas sometimes provided equally hilarious results. Click below to view the various on-screen Goon productions... Although each Goon made regular on-screen appearances throughout their individual careers, this section concentrates only on the 'goonish' productions they worked on together. |
