I was the last one up on stage with my dad Max Geldray at the very end of the show, Peter bent down to shake my hand, I wish I was older to appreciate the experience at the time, I was only 7 yrs old, but I have very vivid memories of that whole trip from the USA to the UK with my Dad, mom and sister. We were there for about a week, I especially remember the after party for the show, I remember I had a headache at the end of the night and wanting to leave, Princes Margaret felt sorry for me while she was chatting with my dad and mom, but at 7 yrs old I didn't know who the Royal family were being from America, now at 57 yrs old it blows me away, life is strange...I miss my old Dad, brings tears to my eyes when I see him in this video..LONG LIVE THE GOONS!!!
I think Peter Sellers was the best guest star ever on The Muppet Show. Pure anarchy. Kermit asks Sellers out of sheer frustration, "Who is the real you, Peter?!" To which Sellers replied, "There used to be a real me, but I had it surgically removed."'.
Listened to them on the radio back in the day in Aus then afterwards luckily on a BBC vinyl box set my old man bought in the Early 80’s. Never see the likes of these folks ever again sadly.
Thanks for posting this clip. I can still recall lying in bed at night when I was only about 8 or 9 listening to The Goon Show on the radio in New Zealand, before black and white TV became available. Those original shows were hilarious and always welcomed. It was completely nuts and crazy good fun, in a typical British humour way. The format was unique and the three comedians each went on to have great solo careers. This video is for nostalgia, aimed at people like me. And I am very grateful to be able to see it and recall those wonderful days of growing up, when the world was a much different place. 👍😎🇳🇿✨🌹
I've said it elsewhere before, but even the thought of The Goons makes me feel warm inside. It's not just because of their brilliance and their place, especially Spike's, in the pantheon of British comedy. It's that they so clearly loved each other and were immensely happy as they worked together.
My Norwegian mother never understood why we were laughing so hysterically at the Goon shows ! That was a special time !!! I hope you are all still making people laugh, wherever you are, dear sweet batty men !❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
No matter how many times that I watch this, I always chuckle, chortle and guffuckingfaw! I turned 74 in June this year. I heard my first Goon Show in 1955 or 1956. Blew my mind!
This has taken me back to the 1960’s when l was a teenager. I loved them then just as much as l love them now, they were my heroes and they still are. Just let your imagination run riot. Thank you for the best laughs ever.❤
I n 1956 I was in show business and spent lots of hours on the road travelling from town to town , we used to listen to the goons all the time…..no bad language here just pure comedy ……I miss these times and these men of comedy so much ….2022 now and there is nothing like it now mores the pity…
