About this listen

Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers star in ten classic episodes of The Goon Show, plus a host of bonus features.

Immensely popular and hugely influential, The Goon Show changed the face of British comedy. This 14th and final collection returns to the programme's fourth series and includes the episodes 'The History of Communications', 'The Kippered Herring Gang', 'The Tooth-Paste Expedition', 'The Case of the Vanishing Room', 'The Greatest Mountain in the World', 'Collapse of the British Railways Sandwich System', 'The Case of Agent X2' (aka 'The Silent Bugler'), 'The Story of Brain' [sic] (aka 'Western Story'), 'The Saga of the Internal Mountain' and 'Bank of England Robbery'.

Also included is the special satirical show The Starlings, recorded without an audience or orchestra, plus radio programmes including Vivat Milligna!, Growing Up with the Goons and Radio Fun: The Story of Radio Comedy Part 7. Documentary extracts include items from Kaleidoscope and Dad Made Me Laugh, as well as 'The Disconnected Thoughts of Chairman Spike', featuring unused interview material from At Last the Go On Show.

Remastered using new material and the latest technology to give the best possible sound quality, these recordings are sure to appeal to all collectors of The Goon Show.

The Goons is a classic comedy which reflects the broadcast standards, language and attitudes of its time.

I’m Walking Backwards For Goon Shows

As with Volume 13, don’t expect either comprehensive Goonery or a straightforward collection. This compendium does have more complete early Goon Shows, but the quality is very variable — some are very obviously sourced from off-air recordings, and restoration efforts only avail so much. Other than that, much of this collection is made up of documentaries, interviews, and miscellanies, including a BBC programme on the history of the show.

Unlike volume 13, however, this does not come with a PDF to provide information about the sources for the material (the extensive booklet for volume 13 does cover series 4, however.)

I enjoyed the compilation a great deal. Your mileage might vary, however.
