Alphabetical List of Goon Show Scripts
Below is a list of all Goon Show scripts currently available. They form a record of the very funny comedy created by Spike Milligan and the other writers.
Each script has been transcribed from a recording of the actual broadcast rather than a mere reproduction of the original script. They contain what is actually heard in the shows including ad libs, gaffes and so on. You can see an original script in the collectables section.

NOTE: Some scripts may appear more than once where episodes were re-performed. Different recordings of the same episode often exist where shows were re-edited for distribution. Also, some scripts were tweaked by Spike Milligan years later for inclusion in publications. The scripts included here match the orginal broadcasts as closely as possible without these edits and tweaks.
All transcripts have been transcribed by a small but hardworking group of goon fans across the world. These are constantly being updated and can be found at The GSD Forum and listed at The Goon Shows From Home. Those listed here are currently being reviewed to confirm their accuracy. Until this process is completed some scripts may not be perfect.
