More About This Title The Goon Show

English

Goon but not forgotten. From 1951 to 1960, the Goons ruled the airwaves, the most celebrated and influential clowns in the history of radio. Join young archeologist Neddie Seagon in his search for the lost tomb of Genghis Khan and the hidden gold of Ancient Egypt. Or float down the Amazon in pursuit of Neddie's Peruvian Welsh ancestry. But wherever you are, beware the phantom head shaver—there's a bonce-balder about! Only the highly esteemed talking-type wireless Goon Show can allow you to do all this through a crazy quartet of cult comedy classics—The Phantom Head Shaver, The Lost Emperor, Drums Along the Mersey, and The Mummified Priest. It's classic Goonery for all Goonatics.

Larry Stephens was a scriptwriter who wrote for several popular comedy shows in the 1950s, including The Tony Hancock Show and The Army Game.
