Product Description

Product Description

The Goons first went on air at the BBC as The Crazy People on 28 May 1951. There then began a terrible rasping, squealing, giggling, snorting period of lunacy which continued unabated until 1960. Fifty years after the first show there is still a huge interest in the Goons, with each new generation dicovering afresh the anarchic humour that has had such a huge influence on so many of today's top comedy performers. This fascination collection of reminscences, photographs and sketches is the definitive story of Eccles, Bluebottle, Neddy, Bloodnok, Grytpype-Thynne, Moriarty, Minnie Bannister, Henry Crun et al from those who know them best. Under the patient guidence of Spike's Manager, Norma Farnes, Spike Milligan and Harry Secombe, along with a select handful of friends including Eric Sykes, delve into their dusty old memories to help piece together the history of the Goons. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.


From the Publisher

Norma Farnes is Spike Milligan's manager and, as such, is in the perfect position to write the story of The Goons - the anarchic comedy group who are still popular years after the Last Goon Show of All was broadcast. The Goons – The Story not only includes scripts of some of the classic Goon shows, but also anecdotes and memories from, among others, Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe and Eric Sykes. With Sir Harry Secombe’s death earlier in 2001, this book has even more resonance and is a must for any seasoned Goon fan, as well as those who have recently been attracted to their unique brand of humour. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
