Show Notes
Goon Pod listeners were asked to send in their questions and comments about the show, the Goons or comedy in general and they didn't disappoint!
Adam Leslie (Award-Winning Novelist) joined Tyler to work through the list of listener folderol and there was so much that they only managed to get through half of it!
So - in a packed show you will hear us covering a wide range of topics and among many other things we discussed:
Puckoon The different Goon Show theme tunes Alexei Sayle's Stuff Andrew Timothy The best Spike film? Great Scott It's Maynard! Young Barry Cryer The Bride of Frankenstein Shows for newbies? The Ray Ellington Quartet lineups Hancock vs Steptoe Later Bentine collaborations
... and much much more!

Jet Storm, also known as Jet Stream or Killing Urge, is a British thriller directed and co-written by Cy Endfield and starring Richard Attenborough, Stanley Baker, Patrick Allen and Virginia Maskell. It is an early example of what would become the aviation disaster-film genre, preceding films such as Airport by more than a decade. Released in October 1959, it centres almost entirely on a transatlantic flight from London to New York and the psychological and moral crisis that develops among its passengers when one of them threatens to destroy the aircraft.
Broadcast on Channel 4 on 2nd December 1985, The Last Laugh Before TV-am was Spike Milligan’s attempt to bring his particular vein of humour to a new generation... although very little about it suggested that Milligan had changed his approach since the early Q series.
