I'm nearly 80 and still mad as a brush thanks to this lot. Genius Peter Sellers, even Spike was in awe of him.

The Goons, pure anarchic brilliance.

I was a very young RN Aviation Cadet doing sea time in 1955, observing bridge duties during last dog-watch on a Tuesday somewhere in the Celtic Sea en route to Gibraltar. The Captain emerged from his sea cabin. "Sparks - can we get the Home Service this far out?" "Possible sir". "Right, get the Goon Show piped up to the bridge". Seventeen years later I had the amazingly good fortune to get two of the rare public tickets for the Last Goon Show recording at the Camden Theatre. Magic memories....

"I had retired from the army and was on a goodwill tour of North Africa teaching Morris Dancing to the Arabs. They didn't seem to be quite getting the hang of it".

Thanks Spike,Peter and Harry for so many happy hours over the years listening to your shows.

as a gen z, i hope the goon show becomes popular again.

The side of life that makes you glad you were born.

Dear God!  Sixtythree years ago. Memories of my Dad and I listening to the Goons on a Saturday afternoon on our living room radio in the 1950s in Jamaica. Brings back childhood memories. Unforgettable nutty humour ..."...:look out in the desert, what can you see? .. "Nothing"...... "Here, use these binoculars.... What do you see now?"..... "Nothing....but I can see it more clearly!".....

I was only born in 94 (21 years old) but I grew up on these thanks to my grandad. Will always think of him when I hear these!

I was born in 1979. When i was a kid I used to listen to my father's tapes he recorded from the radio in the 60s NZ. I absolutely loved The Goons, still do! It's great to see people younger than me listen to The Goons! Keep listening kids! Pass them on to your kids! Keep The Goons alive!

Thank you, DAD for sharing your cassettes ,miss you ❤️

I never, ever, EVER get tired of any of these. BRILLIANTLY CHILDISH!

"But the war's over!" "Nonsense, it's only an interval."

We laugh about what we fear.

this is probably a good antidepressant without the side-effects!

My grandfather, who is Australian, actually went to England once and was already a big fan of the Goon Show. While in England, he was at a little restaurant or café kind of place when he actually got a pass to see the Goon Show being performed. He actually got to see Sellers and some other famous British actors while there!

We tuned in the the goon show on the radio BBC in Auckland nz. Had the family crying with laughter in no time. 1960s

I used to go to bed early so I could listen to the Goon Show in bed. I was 16 when this one was aired.

The late Beatle, John Lennon, was a regular listener of the Goon Show until 1956 -- when 'music took him', as he phrased it.  So I expect he listened to this 1955 broadcast of Rommel's Treasure in his aunt's sitting room!

I'm 40 this year and I am so grateful to have been brought up on the Goons, mainly by my Uncle. I'm looking forward to my own son appreciating it too. He's seven and already has a sense of humour just like my own. 😂

Just turned 60 I used to hide the Radio under my Pillow at Boarding School in the Dormitory during the afternoon it was the one thing that cheered me up being away from my family for so long even now Eccles cracks me up god rest their souls
