The Goon Show 60 years old!

Post by Deep Sea Isopod » Fri May 27, 2011 6:56 pm

The first episode of the first series of The Goon Show was broadcast in May 1951. How time has flown!

I was just born when it started! But I listen to it when I was old enough to. It is fair to say that pretty well all UK comedy, certainly of the Monty python oriented type started with the Goons. Its still funny today I think!

The Goons comedy is timeless. Even now they are still funny! :hehe:

It was my roomie in the RAF who introduced me to these guys, back in 1990.

I grew up with them myself. I was just weird for someone to say how time flies about something that pre-dates my existence and was always there for me like blue skies.

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.
