The Goon Show (Radio)	comment	BBC Radio comedy show starring Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan (who was also the main writer), and Harry Secombe, which ran from 1951 to 1960. A special, "The Last Goon Show of All", followed in 1972. The Goons also released numerous comic songs independent of the BBC. The most famous was "The Ying Tong Song", successfully re-released in the 1970s; the last time the trio worked together was on a 'comeback' single, "The Raspberry Song"/"Rhymes", in 1978.The first series was titled "Crazy People - with Radio's Own Crazy Gang: The Goons". Michael Bentine is credited with being a co-inventor of the concept and in fact was a full Goon for the first two series, but left after artistic and personal differences with Milligan. According to one interview, Milligan overheard Bentine suggesting that he (Milligan) should be fired.Beginning as a sketch comedy series, the show accumulated a cast of recurring characters and evolved into a surreal, continuity-free sitcom, with each episode dropping the characters into a different place, time, and situation, and leaving them to react to it in their characteristic fashion.The plots, such as they were, often revolved around well-meaning fool Neddie Seagoon (Secombe) becoming the target of some plot by impoverished conmen Hercules Grytpype-Thynne and Count Jim "Knees" Moriarty (Sellers and Milligan respectively) Grytpype's influence drags Moriarty down from the competent schemer of series 5 to the cringing dustbin-dweller of series 9. Other major characters included Dirty Coward Major Bloodnok (Sellers), the aged Henry Crun and Minnie Bannister (Sellers and Milligan), happy-go-lucky Chew Toy boy adventurer Bluebottle (Sellers), and The Famous Eccles, the world's biggest idiot (Milligan).Wallace Greenslade acted as the announcer (Andrew Timothy in the earlier series), but was often roped into the story, while Ray Ellington (jazz singer) and Max Geldray (harmonica) provided musical interludes. They also were called on occasionally to play small parts - often parts for which their voices were highly inappropriate. The Ellington Quartet's trombonist George Chisholm occasionally played mad Scotsmen.The scripts were mostly written by Spike Milligan, with various persons note such as Bentine, in the beginning, and later Eric Sykes (Milligan and Sykes were co-credited on several episodes, though like Lennon and McCartney they actually alternated). Other co-writers included Larry Stephens, Maurice Wiltshire, and John Antrobus with whom Milligan later wrote the play The Bed-Sitting Room helping him. During Milligan's absence while hospitalised, Dick Emery voiced his parts. A few episodes were written by these helpers while Milligan was unavailable. Considerable ad-libbing occurred, though much that seemed like ad-libbing was carefully scripted, and lampshades were regularly hung.The show had several guests over the years, most often Valentine Dyall, "the Man in Black", who played various similar but distinct roles.The Goon Show's style of humour was an influence on many later British comedians, notably Monty Python and The Goodies, and even The Beatles' humorous side has roots in this show. (John Lennon specifically credited the Goons as an influence.) It's fair to say that if you like any subsequent British comedy at all, somewhere along the line you have The Goon Show to thank. The Firesign Theater was also deeply influenced by the Goons. Of all things, Shrek mentions "Bloodnock the Flatulent" as one of ogre gods.Not to be confused with The Goon, a comic series about a muscle-bound mob enforcer who fights monsters; nor with Alice the Goon or her relatives in Thimble Theater; nor should it be confused with any shows that happen to be made by goons, or The Gong Show, or The Goonies, or Go On, or Goon (2011).

The Goon Show (Radio) / int_12641dc0	comment	Impossible Insurance: In "Insurance, The White Man's Burden" Seagoon is talked into insuring the English Channel against catching fire. Later on Henry Crun pours oil on the Channel to calm it, and then burns it off. Unfortunately Seagoon still doesn't get to collect because Grytpype and Moriarty have done a runner. Then there's "The Canal", where Lord Valentine Seagoon keeps buying life insurance for his son Neddie using increasingly unlikely and specific death scenarios ("How much would it cost to insure Neddie against putting concrete blocks on his feet, blowing himself up with dynamite and then landing in the canal?") before, of course, engineering those exact scenarios. The episode ends with Henry calling to collect on the life insurance he put on Lord Valentine, Seagoon, Eccles and Bluebottle, the last of which was the insurance agent sent to pay out the above.

The Goon Show (Radio) / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: Strongly averted, with the scripts casually throwing in anyone they felt like, even people who one might be expect were beyond the comedy pale - for example, in "The Dreaded Batter Pudding Hurler of Bexhill-on-Sea", Inspector Neddie is calling a list of phone numbers of possible suspects: Another one featuring Churchill: The BBC eventually banned Sellers' Churchill impersonations after the man himself allegedly objected to a topical joke. In The Starlings Sellers went one higher with the Duchess Boil de Spudswell, who sounds suspiciously like the Queen.

Other examples include "The Treasure of Loch Lomond" (inspired by the Duke of Argyll's attempts to salvage treasure from a sunken Spanish galleon) and "The Case of the Missing CD Plates" (a Peruvian diplomat threw a piano out of a window, damaging a parked car, and claimed diplomatic immunity when asked to pay for the damage).

The Goon Show (Radio) / int_1777688d	comment	Genre Savvy: Bluebottle knows that his role is to be introduced at a later point in an episode and leave it by being deaded, usually by an explosion, so in some episodes he starts taking steps to ensure his own survival. In "Under Two Floorboards", he exploits Grytpype-Thynne's plot by staying home while everybody else (and the story) is elsewhere. It doesn't help, and eventually he's resigned to pulling the pin on a grenade that Eccles has just handed him because he knows it's his role. Then he survives anyway by landing on top of Greenslade.

The script didn't really reflect the Goons' style of humour, but it does include a good Bentine solo routine. More successful was The Case of the Mukkinese Battle Horn, a half-hour short written by Milligan and starring Milligan and Sellers in their Goon Show roles with guest appearances from Dick Emery and Graham Stark.

For instance, a soldier would be asked to escort a spy out of the room. Footsteps are heard trailing off into the distance. The interrogator comments positively on the competence of the soldier. "Then why did he leave me behind?", asks the spy, evidently still in the room. Combined with Overly Long Gag to lethal effect in one gag where Henry Crun is trying to take down Seagoon's personal information. See the Quotes page. Another Overly Long Gag combination occurred in "The Whistling Spy Enigma", when Seagoon loads Henry onto a horse and they start galloping off, with the intent being to go all the way to Hungary.

Also, after something happened that was only possible because it was a radio show (such as Eccles standing on Neddie's shoulders, then pulling Neddie up so he could reach a high place), someone would often remark that they'd, "like to see them do this on television," or similar.

In "Six Charlies In Search Of An Author", Crun pays Seagoon Â£10 in "crisp green farthings" (of which there would be 9,600).

The Goon Show (Radio) / int_42d7e928	comment	Meanwhile, in the Futureâ€¦: In "The Treasure in the Tower", the action alternates between a ship sailing home to bury treasure in 1600 and an expedition to find the treasure in 1957. Much use of "Meanwhile in 1600" and "Meanwhile in 1957" ensues. Played with: when the ship reaches the place where they intend to bury the treasure, the crew of the ship start interacting with members of the expedition, and in the end the sailors bury the treasure in 1600 in the hole dug on the spot in 1957 in an unsuccessful attempt to find the treasure that hadn't yet been buried.

Madness!" and "I'm a daisy, father's a plum, that's why we stoned him. I hear music and there's only Max Geldray there." The canal gives the water aspect to the Ophelia trope.

After the bulk of the story takes place and Seagoon is ordered to pay several thousand pounds in costs, he decides to take petty revenge by going to Titicaca, getting run over by a steamroller there, and sueing for it... unfortunately the steamroller he picks just happens to be driven by Bloodnok, the British ambassador to Titicaca, who also has diplomatic immunity.

The Goon Show (Radio) / int_8a5dc833	comment	It Runs on Nonsensoleum: Exploding cucumbers that blast someone into orbit; someone driving a wall - this show did 'random weirdness' before TV did, never mind the Internet. From "The Booted Gorilla"... "The Goon Show is now available in half-pint bottles. (switches to American accent) Yes, don't listen to the Goon Show, drink it, in the new economy-size serving! Drink: Goon Show!" All Scotsmen, when speaking, are accompanied by bagpipes. And only when speaking. If they say just "Yes", there'll be a quick one-second burst on the bagpipes in the background. "And that, listeners, was the sound of Neddie and Eccles driving a wall at high speed". "Listeners may doubt the authenticity of that sound effect, a boa constrictor galloping. If the truth be known, a horse covered in a snakeskin was used to replicate the sound. As for the chicken noises, we can only apologize." Lampshaded after a quick series of very random sound effects, including a train accelerating, some battle trumpets, alchemical bubbling, and a chipmunk's scream of anguish; "I'm afraid you'll have to work that one out for yourselves, listeners." In one case this is even in the script - a Running Gag is that different brands of cigarettes are referred to as 'gorillas', 'baboons', 'monkeys' etc., and the script notes that the sound effect of Eccles and Seagoon smoking gorillas should be "SOUND OF TWO GORILLAS FIGHTING - IF CAN'T GET THAT, TRY TWO LIONS" "Ladies and gentlemen, as there is no audible sound for a piece of string we substitute this" long stream of gibberish "This is part of the BBC's new economy drive. They have found it is cheaper to travel by bagpipes..." At one point, they knock over a bottle containing the BBC. In "The Siege of Fort Night", Seagoon and Crun found that the gas oven Crun invented could connect to the railway station. They use this as a shortcut to the fort and bring the oven with them through the oven door. Eccles, following their instructions, hands the front, back, left and right sides in before he realises that he can't close the door and then go through it to bring the inside with him. Solution? Send the door separately.

While this does appear to work (Bluebottle in particular supposes he'd better hurry off to his mum, because he hasn't been born yet) the Allies had already dropped 1918 calendars on Germany, advancing time to their surrender.

"Ying tong iddle i po" and "Needle nardle noo", all-purpose catchphrases (most often Neddie's). "It's all in the mind, you know" was also used by everyone, most commonly Grytpype-Thynne. "I don't wish to know that" was also commonly used after someone gave a particularly bad or dirty pun. Wallace Greenslade (usually about Seagoon): "He's very good, you know. Very good." Milligan was known to comment that a catch phrase was simply a meaningless remark repeated until people were brainwashed into laughing at it.

Neddie isn't sure about his translation skills, but don't worry; Crun "knows two men who are experts at reading ancient scripts: Bob Hope and Steve Allen." In "Ten Snowballs That Shook the World", the scene is suddenly interrupted by a ringing telephone. In "1985", there's a Running Gag about Wilfred Pickles and the age and infirmity of the guests on his shows Ask Pickles and Have a Go. The latter is even one of the tortures in Room 101. Whenever a scene is set in parliament or amongst some other official body, expect this in spades. In particular for the former, there's usually a lot of dithering about not getting anything done, along with various members chiming in 'Well done!' and 'Hear hear!' at inappropriate spots indicating that they aren't actually listening to what's being said. A sharper jab occurs in "The Man Who Never Was", when a German spy declares that he's seeking political asylum and Bloodnok directs him to get on a bus to the House of Commons, the finest political asylum he knows.

One Four... One for the road? There are many roads. Such as Cecil Rhodes. He lives in Africa... that's it! I'll search for the missing year in Africa!"

The Goons mocked this trope mercilessly: "The Greatest Mountain In The World!, Or: I Knew Fred Crute, Or: The Greatest Mountain In The World!" "Round the World in 80 Days, or: Money Refunded". In this particular case, the announcement preceded a short violin solo after which Milligan, as Little Jim, could be heard doling out cash with a charitable "There's Money For You, There's Money For You!" "The Fireball of Milton Street", or "What's become of that crispy bacon we had before the war, ey?" "The Search for Rommel's Treasure, or..." (dramatic fanfare, lasting nearly 30 seconds) "...I've forgotten what I was going to say now." The episode "The Curse of Frankenstein" was given two possible titles in the episode itself: "'My Heart's in the Highlands but My Feet Are in Bombay', or 'I Was the Victim of a Terrible Explosion'." "Le Salarie de la peur, or "The Wages of Fear", or in English "The Fear of Wages". One of the earliest episodes took this trope too far... '"The Giant Bombardon" or, "The Giant Bombardon", or...'

For example, when Bluebottle has turned out to have been impersonating Wallace Greenslade after complicated events that made no sense: "1985", their parody of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, is wall-to-wall this. Britain is ruled by the despotic tyranny of the BBC, and 846 Winston Seagoon is tortured by being forced to listen to BBC Radio soap operas. In the end, the Independent Television Army takes over (a Take That! to the Independent Television Authority, which had been created to supervise the development of commercial TV in Britain)...and promptly starts broadcasting exactly the same shows, to Winston's horror. It's great to be alive in 1985! The show often lampshaded how chronically hard-up for cash the BBC was, starting one episode with: "This is the BBC." (sound of coin clanking in collection bucket) "Thank-you!" In "The Missing Scroll":

In "The Terrible Revenge of Fred Fu-Manchu", Seagoon orders Eccles to form into a squad of four, which he does. (Seagoon comments "Let's see them do that on television!". When the episode was later adapted for the Telegoons, it did indeed show Eccles becoming four identical Eccleses).

They're generally regarded as lacking the unique insanity of Milligan's scripts, but possibly more coherent and better as storytelling.

Fairly often joke would be told by one cast member, then the script would move on, only for the first character (usually Eccles) to be still giggling at the joke told five minutes previously. In "The Telephone": In "The Curse of Frankenstein" we have the And/Or title 'My Heart is in the Highlands and my Feet are in Bombay' or 'I Was the Victim of a Terrible Explosion'. Later on in the episode a character comments that their heart is in Bombay and their feet are in the Highlands. Another character then responds 'So you too have been a victim of a Terrible Explosion!' In a segment replacing Ray Ellington's usual slot in The Tuscan Salami Scandal (as he was participating in strike action), Secombe runs a faux radio request show, with one of the requests being a soldier asking for a record of his sergeant falling down a manhole. Several minutes later, Bluebottle falls down it because nobody put the cover back on.
