1.4 The Goon Show Explained

All British Comedy Explained… to Abigoliah Schamaun, by Tom Salinsky

1.4: The Goon Show. Released 20 November 2025.

The one British comedy show to which all roads ultimately lead. Spike Milligan’s lunatic flights of fancy changed the game and he found ideal comrades in Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers. The show ran for ten years and hundreds of episodes. We listened to The Lost Gold Mine from the fifth series and The Mysterious Punch Up the Conker from the seventh series.

If you want to listen to more episodes of The Goon Show, copies of many episodes in various qualities are floating around YouTube and other parts of the internet. But for the best listening experience we recommend getting the compilations on Audible, which are free with an Audible subscription.

Next time we’ll be watching Victoria Wood As Seen On TV, season one episode five and season two episode one.
