The Goon Show

Goon but not forgotten. From 1951 to 1960 the Goons ruled the airwaves, the most celebrated and influential clowns in the history of radio. GO ON - join Inspector Ned Seagoon on the trail of the horrible vanishing room, the fabled million pound penny and the case of the Mauve Raven. Yes, folks, three thrilling crime-type murders for naughty Ned to get his nut around; plus Lord Seagoon's search for King Solomon's Mines. So travel the crazy world, Jim, with the help of the all-leather Goon Show in a quartet of cult comedy classics - The Moriarty Murder Mystery, King Solomon's Mines, The GBP1,000,000 Penny and The Vanishing Room. But beware of the very old crocodile. He won the Old Croc's Race.
