The Goon Show History

The Goon Show was a British radio programme of the 1950s, originally airing from 1951 to 1960 in the United Kingdom.

The series was devised and written by Spike Milligan with occasional assistance from others such as Eric Sykes and Larry Stephens under the watchful eye of Jimmy Grafton (KOGVOS-Keeper Of The Goons and Voice Of Sanity).

Performed by Milligan, Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe (the first two seasons also featured Michael Bentine), the Goon Show was an extremely popular comedy show on the BBC Home Service. The scripts mixed ludicrous plots with surreality, puns, catchphrases and an array of silly sound effects. Some of the later episodes feature electronic effects by the fledgling BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

Possibly the most famous Goon Show sequence ever, from "The Mysterious Punch-Up-The-Conk-er", begins with Bluebottle asking Eccles what the time is. Eccles consults a piece of paper, on which is written "Eight o'clock" - the answer he received the last time he asked somebody what the time was. The implications of this method of telling the time are then explored at some length.

The show was extremely influential. The future members of Monty Python were fans, but ironically at the time their efforts over-shadowed Milligan's later TV efforts. However now the Circus seems to be more quoted. It is fair to say that British alternative comedy based its modern form on the model created for the Goon Show by Spike Milligan.
