Goon but not forgotten. From 1951 to 1960 the Goons ruled the airwaves, the most celebrated and influential clowns in the history of radio.

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.

Spike Milligan

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.
