Immensely popular and hugely influential, the groundbreaking series The Goon Show changed the face of British comedy.

Brilliant
As always, it is great to hear the Goons.
But I am not sure about the value of the bonus material or how it has been arranged in the Compendium. This compendium comprises selected Goon Shows but with the bonus material popping up in between some episodes. I prefer hearing the Goon Shows back to back. By all means add the bonus material but please keep it all together and placed the end of all the selected Goon show episodes.
Better still, do t bother with the bonus material and give us more Goon Shows!

Many thanks Spike Harry Peter
I was aware of the Goon Show previously and their influence on many other comedians after them and beyond and listening to them in the studio was both hilarious and warming to feel the connection between the three talents on show
I would recommend this title to anyone who wants to experience this unique and influential strand of comedy both in subtle and often cheeky terms give it a look and make your own mind up
I want to say a big thank you to Spike Milligan for bringing to life and sharing with Harry and Peter and of course all the planet his comedic genius
Much love to Eccles Nelly and not forgetting Bluebottle xxx
Fatang!!!
