Description

It's 1950s austerity Britain, and out of the gloom comes Goon mania as men,

women and children across the country scramble to get their ear to a wireless

for another instalment of The Goon Show. While Harry Secombe and Peter

Sellers get down to the serious business of becoming overnight celebrities,

fellow Goon and chief writer Spike nds himself pushing the boundaries of

comedy, and testing the patience of the BBC.


Flanked by his fellow Goons and bolstered by the e orts of irrepressible

sound assistant Janet, Spike takes a ourishing nosedive o the cli s of

respectability, and mashes up his haunted past to create the comedy of the

future. His war with Hitler may be over, but his war with Auntie Beeb - and

ultimately himself - has just begun.


Will Spike's dogged obsession with nding the funny elevate The Goons to

soaring new heights, or will the whole thing come crashing down with the

stroke of a potato peeler?
