The Goon Show is enshrined in radio history as "the show that broke the mould" taking post-war audiences from the doldrums of the "I say, I say, I say, my dog's got no nose -- 'How does he smell?' - 'orrible'" music-hall type comedic performances to the new and uncharted 'surreal world' of 'The Milligan'. The legacy it created influenced just about every comedy act from that day forward, from Monty Python to Eddie Izzard, and heralded a new dawn in Radio and TV comedy. Despite the popular conception that the most funny Television one-liner ever first appeared in "Dads Army", as in; "Vot's your name?" - "Don't tell him Pike…" , it was actually also heard in a Goon Show many years before that show ever aired, in a discourse between Neddie Seagoon and Minnie Bannister. When Inspector Seagoon asks Henry Crun who he is, Minnie Bannister is heard to call back, "don't tell him Henry…". So there you have it, proof indeed of the power of the Goon Show. For us, the enthralled fans of today, (some of whom weren't even born when the show was first broadcast ), that legacy still goes on. And that's why we've got a GSPS in our midst. You can't beat it folks - you too need a GSPS in your midst- get yours now - after all, we mustn't let the Goon humour that Spike created disappear from our memories. So - check out the rest of our pages from the navigation menu up there on the top of your screen and enjoy, then send in your application for membership… After all - without you we wouldn't be able to carry on going on. So please join now!!!!
