I'll be starting around 11 am Eastern time, this Sunday. I've got eight full hours of episodes to run. 'Twas going to run some music, too, but 8 hours is quite a decent amount of time.
Goonathon listing
The Ying Tong Song
Any Goon marathon *has* to begin with this song. It's the law, you know. I believe it's written down on a lead-lined kipper at the end of a pole, somewhere.
Histories Of Pliny The Elder
The Jet-Propelled Guided NAAFI
Dreaded Batter Pudding Hurler
The Evils Of Bushey Spon
The first four Goon episodes I ever heard. Histories, by the way, is slightly different than the version I heard on the cassette released by the Beeb Beeb Ceeb.
Fred Fu Manchu & His Bamboo Saxophone
Lurgi Strikes Britain
Lurgi Strikes Britain is one of the more lunatic shows they did, and features a particularly energetic performance by Ray Ellington and the boys.
Mysterious Punch-up-the-Conker
Excellent episode. Quite possibly my favorite episode.
Napoleon's Piano
The episode that features the famous "Have a gorilla" running gag.
The Canal
Featuring Valentine Dyall, who go on years later to play The Black Guardian in Doctor Who.
The Tale of Men's Shirts (Restored)
Ned's Atomic Dustbin (Restored)
Arguably the most famous episode, restored.
Spike Milligan - You Gotta Go Oww!
Milligna in character as Moriarty, "singing".
Spike Milligan on the Dave Lee Travis Show
The Last Goon Show Of All
The 1972 reunion special, in it's entirety. If all you've seen is the video version, this has all the bits that were edited out.
Goon Again - The Story Of Civilization
The "genetically engineered tribute band".
We'll miss you, Eccles.
