Goon Show, The - Volume 20 - The Fear of Wages

The Fear of Wages (6 March 1956)
The Nadger Plague (18 October 1956)
The Great British Revolution (16 December 1957)
The Sahara Desert Statue (3 November 1958)

Go on, join Commander Seagoon and the Fourth Armoured Thunderboxes as they fight on (well, blunder on) in Burma, help Lord Neddie combat the dreaded Nadger Plague, man (and Bluebottle) the barricades as Citizen Ned leads the revolution, and avert your eyes as Nude Ned of Wales bares all in the Sahara. It’s hot stuff, folks.

Yes, it’s the all-leather Goon Show (now available in half-pint bottles) with another cult quartet of timeless wireless wizardry from Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, and Harry Secombe, and their alter egos Bloodnok, Moriarity, Eccles, and the rest.

And why is that gas stove wearing a hat? It’s going out.

Under Two Floorboards
The Sinking of Westminster Pier
The Yehti
The Mysterious Punch-up-the-Conker

Goon but not forgotten. From 1952 to 1960 the Goons ruled the airwaves, the most celebrated and influential clowns in the history of radio.

GO ON - from a watery Westminster Pier to the far flung Foreign Legion, from Yehti ridden Yorkshire moors to a leather omnibus with a phantom conker-punch - the weird, wide and wonderful world of Goonery knows no bounds.

So savour another crazy quartet of cult comedy classics as Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Harry Secombe once more redefine the limits of radio comedy.

Here today - Goon tomorrow.

Goon Show, The - Volume 6 - Have a Gorilla

Rommel’s Treasure
Ill Met By Goonlight
I Was Monty’s Treble
The Seagoon Memoirs

Goon but not forgotten! From 1952 to 1960 the Goons ruled the airwaves, the most celebrated and influential clowns in the history of radio.

GO ON - join Jim Rommell, Fred Hitler and Private Eccles in four more tales of frontline Goonery. Go hot foot to the desert for Rommel’s treaure or try spaghetti-hurling in Crete. You too, can be Monty’s treble before reading Gunner Ned’s memoirs. They’ll make him a fortune (and a fivetune).

Yes folks, with the aid of the staem-leather mircrophone you can do all this through another crazy quartet of cult comedy classics from Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe and Spike Milligan. Not to mention Hans, Neetz and Boompsadaisy.

These jokes are now available on the new breakable record. Buy one today and smash it.
