Goon but not forgotten. From 1951 to 1960 the Goons ruled the airwaves, the most celebrated and influential clowns in the history of radio. GO ON - join Inspector Ned Seagoon on the trail of the horrible vanishing room, the fabled million pound penny and the case of the Mauve Raven. Yes, folks, three thrilling crime-type murders for naughty Ned to get his nut around; plus Lord Seagoon's search for King Solomon's Mines. So travel the crazy world, Jim, with the help of the all-leather Goon Show in a quartet of cult comedy classics - The Moriarty Murder Mystery, King Solomon's Mines, The £1,000,000 Penny and The Vanishing Room. But beware of the very old crocodile. He won the Old Croc's Race.

About the Author

Spike Milligan

The legendary and iconic figure, Spike Milligan was born at Ahmednagar in India in 1918. He received his first education in a tent in the Hyderabad Sindh desert and graduated from there, through a series of Roman Catholic schools in India and England, to the Lewisham Polytechnic. He then plunged into the world of Show Business, seduced by his first stage appearance, at the age of eight, in the nativity play of his Poona convent school. He began his career as a band musician, but became famous as a humorous scriptwriter and actor in both films and broadcasting. He was the creator, principal writer and performer of the infamous Goon Show. Spike received an honorary CBE in 1992 and Knighthood in 2000. He died in 2002.
