00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:36,400
Hello and welcome to goon pod. 
Happy New Year. 

2
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,900
Happy New Year. 
So let's hope, let's hope that 

3
00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:43,200
2023 is just as good as 20:22 
has been. 

4
00:00:46,300 --> 00:00:50,300
Yeah, in recent months I've been
asking lister's to nominate 

5
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:52,500
their favorite goon show 
episodes and you didn't let me 

6
00:00:52,508 --> 00:00:55,200
down. 
So today on the special show, I 

7
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,400
am joined to run down the top 20
listeners. 

8
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,500
Favorite gun shows, we have Sean
Gaffney all the way from the

00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:07,800
United States and and and Mike 
Haskins from about 40 minutes 

10
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,500

Hello, hello, hello, hello. 

11
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,900
Hello, Tyler. 
So thank you for joining me. 

12
00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:15,900
You have both been previous 
guess. 

13
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:21,600
A couple of times actually and 
both have acquitted yourselves 

14
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,800
excellently. 
This is such a weird is 

15
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,300
excellently. 
I think so. 

16
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,800
Well, there is now. 
So thank you for joining me to 

17
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,200
talk through the this top 20 
list. 

18
00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:33,200
As we're recording this, the 
World Cup is still going on and,

19
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:35,800
you know, in the style of the 
World Cup. 

20
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:39,800
I don't really watch football, 
but I know that before, matches 

21
00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:42,800
all the pundits, sit around in 
the television studio and make 

22
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,300
predictions. 
Okay. 

23
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:48,300
So I'd like to ask you both, 
what do you think you want to 

24
00:01:48,308 --> 00:01:51,900
have a stab at what? 
You think the number one episode

25
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:59,100
is going to be like, well what 
do I what I was wondering tither

26
00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:04,100
is has any smart aleck in the 
voting for this voted for an 

27
00:02:04,107 --> 00:02:06,200
episode which just didn't exist 
at all. 

28
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,600
You know, that there's no 
recording of no script, no 

29
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,600
record of whatsoever but still 
that's my favorite books. 

30
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,500
I really wish that I'd done that
now. 

31
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:17,500
Yeah. 
You fool, you all think the 

32
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:20,400
dreaded better putting earlier 
of Excellency is the best one. 

33
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,500
But no, it's Series 2 episode 7 
which no one has ever heard. 

34
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,500
You might be like that guy. 
What's his name? 

35
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:30,300
Ian Levine. 
Is he the guy? 

36
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:33,100
Who's got supposedly all the 
Doctor Who episodes that are 

37
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:34,500
missing? 
Oh yeah. 

38
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:36,100
Locked up in his basement. 
Yes. 

39
00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:36,900
Yeah. 
Really. 

40
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,100
Really, that's the rumor. 
Isn't it. 

41
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,700
Who is the house? 
He got them. 

42
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:43,200
I don't somebody go. 
There, I do. 

43
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,100
But there are I'm sure part. 
Podcast that can give the 

44
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:50,700
history of Ian Levine, but it's 
outside of this rubric. 

45
00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:56,000
I think it's like you. 
So seriously now, Mike want to 

46
00:02:56,008 --> 00:02:57,600
have a go. 
What do you think be number one?

47
00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:04,100
Well, you see, I've listened to 
a few recently and I can tell 

48
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:09,200
you the ones which I think you 
know, which I can't read what I 

49
00:03:09,208 --> 00:03:10,800
voted for. 
Now the ones I should have voted

50
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,600
for our dreaded best pudding 
hurler because that is a 

51
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:18,800
fantastic show and The 
greenslade story. 

52
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:21,700
I found quite delightful as an 
episode. 

53
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,700
Yeah. 
And the other one, which I 

54
00:03:24,708 --> 00:03:28,100
remember talking about with Dawn
dredge was called of the West 

55
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,600
which I absolutely love and 
that's a fantastic episode. 

56
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,000
Although you know, you're 
talking to John dredge about it.

57
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,100
You kept saying, I wouldn't play
this to somebody as their first 

58
00:03:36,100 --> 00:03:39,800
goon show but I think I would 
like that too. 

59
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,900
I think it's superb. 
So anyway, we will see. 

60
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,900
Look see if any or none of those
are In the list. 

61
00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:48,400
Indeed. 
And what about you Sean? 

62
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,500
What do you reckon? 
I will be very surprised if 

63
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:56,600
Napoleon's piano is if not 
number one at least in the top 

64
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:57,700
two. 
Okay. 

65
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,000
Oh God, certainly also better 
putting hurler. 

66
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,700
I expect to be right up there. 
I mean yeah, I expect the top 

67
00:04:06,700 --> 00:04:10,000
gun shows to be the ones that 
everyone brings up all the time.

68
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:13,400
I mean, there were not going to 
be getting a surprise appearance

69
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,800
of personal narrative. 
Well, the the missing boa 

70
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,100
constrictor. 
No, we're not going to get 

71
00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:21,399
those. 
Although I am fond of that one. 

72
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,200
That's one of my favorite 
underrated gun shows. 

73
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:28,700
Yes, I'm just thinking, Shawn 
could be the Paul gambaccini of 

74
00:04:28,700 --> 00:04:31,400
goonpo with an accent that 
accent. 

75
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,800
Yeah. 
Yeah, you could be, you know, 

76
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,600
Paul gambaccini. 
Sure, I have no idea. 

77
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,900
He is, he's an American person 
who is been on radio, all sorts 

78
00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:44,100
of radio stations for many, many
years, and is a great expert on 

79
00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:47,300
many things on Obviously 
singles. 

80
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:48,500
Yes. 
Yes, that's right. 

81
00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:52,100
Okay, so let's crack on because 
there's a lot to get through, 

82
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,400
and by the way listeners, if if 
right now you're hearing music 

83
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,100
bed, which is the pick of the 
pops music, then it means I've 

84
00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:05,900
taken leave of my senses and 
shouldn't be allowed to operate 

85
00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:07,800
a podcast until a fully regain. 
My wit. 

86
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,800
I know Mike is has been putting 
pressure on me to have that 

87
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,300
music. 
So we'll have to see. 

88
00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:14,900
We'll have to see, but let's 
hope that none of that. 

89
00:05:14,900 --> 00:05:17,400
Okay. 
So let's kick off with number. 

90
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:23,600
20 number 20 is the case of the 
missing CD plates from Series 6.

91
00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:25,700
Good Heavens. 
Yes. 

92
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,800
One of the one of the first that
I've ever heard it was probably 

93
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,000
one of the first three or four 
that I experienced and I've it's

94
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,800
been a firm favourite of mine 
for well ever since I mean yeah 

95
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,100
it well you've already done a 
gun part on this episode. 

96
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:42,800
It's a classic. 
Mmm. 

97
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:47,500
It revolves around recent abuses
of attic core immunity by 

98
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:50,900
diplomats and their families 
that had been happening in 

99
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:55,400
Britain in 1955 including yes 
the son of a diplomat throwing a

100
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,100
piano out a window where it 
struck a car So it's one of 

101
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:04,400
those cases where you listen to 
it and you didn't realize how 

102
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,400
close it was to real life until 
you heard the story and then 

103
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,500
you're like, wait Spike didn't 
make that up. 

104
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,100
I seem to remember when we did 
because I did the the did that 

105
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:17,300
Show with Jon rain? 
You you're quite right. 

106
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:21,700
But I think my research hadn't 
extended to actually finding out

107
00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:23,900
that that it was based. 
It was a story torn from the 

108
00:06:23,907 --> 00:06:27,000
headlines as they say I didn't 
realize until after the show 

109
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,200
that there was an actual piano. 
Thrown out of the window. 

110
00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:32,200
Well, what are your thoughts on 
the show? 

111
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:37,500
Mike, well I I'm just dipping 
into my pile of gun show 

112
00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:39,900
Classics LPS, and I see that 
this was on goon. 

113
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:45,200
Show Classics, Vol 7, and this 
was released in September 1980. 

114
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,200
So what's the relevance of that 
then? 

115
00:06:47,900 --> 00:06:50,100
So this this would have been the
first one that they released 

116
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,500
after senna's death. 
Of course, yes, he's got a bit, 

117
00:06:53,700 --> 00:06:56,800
it's got a big picture of him on
the back, you know, slightly odd

118
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,000
picture with the sort of strange
Tartan shirt on. 

119
00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:02,200
On and a jumper. 
This album is dedicated to Peter

120
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,800
Sellers with grateful, thanks 
for all the pleasure and left 

121
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,100
over, which he gave to so many 
people and it's on the other 

122
00:07:08,100 --> 00:07:12,800
side of the band Who Never Was. 
Yes, the map won't be making a 

123
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,300
an appearance in the list. 
I wonder if possibly that man. 

124
00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:20,900
Who'd never was notably was my 
debut episode for whom God 

125
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:22,000
course he wants. 
Yes. 

126
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,800
The very first one when I was 
first dipping my toe into the 

127
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,700
water and that was it, that was 
nervous as hell and Cross 

128
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:33,800
probably sounding amateur. 
Because I haven't, I never go 

129
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,400
back and re-listen to these. 
So God knows what the early ones

130
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,600
online. 
But the other thing I wanted to 

131
00:07:38,608 --> 00:07:43,200
mention about CD plates, we'd 
been hearing the song on and off

132
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:46,200
throughout the end of Series 5, 
beginning of Series 6. 

133
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,500
But this is the show for Victor 
silvestre's recording of your 

134
00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:56,700
dancing on my heart, due to the 
running gag of the, you know, 

135
00:07:59,700 --> 00:08:03,300
that is in this show. 
Meanwhile, in a stench pecking 

136
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:23,600
Factory in Saigon. 
We return you now to where we 

137
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:29,700
left off, just take that long. 
Fine. 

138
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:49,500
Fine. 
I'm glad they left it in as 

139
00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:50,900
well. 
You know, they could have easily

140
00:08:50,900 --> 00:08:54,900
just clip that bit out, but they
kick, they kept it in so that 

141
00:08:54,900 --> 00:09:00,400
was number. 20 number 19 is From
Series 7, the flea. 

142
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,700
Now, the flea is an episode that
I always maintained that it's 

143
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,500
well, it's only one of my 
favorites. 

144
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:11,900
It's in my top three and I think
you said about the call of the 

145
00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:14,700
West me saying that couldn't be 
somebody. 

146
00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:17,100
You newbies intro episode. 
Mike. 

147
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,300
I think the flea. 
I always think the flea would be

148
00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:23,800
a perfect introduction to the 
goons by an amazing coincidence.

149
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,200
It's on another goon show 
Classics, fine. 

150
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:36,800
But there again, when you think 
about it, in fact, your top 20 

151
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,000
should correspond precisely to 
everything that's on, the Goon 

152
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,300
show Classics LPS, because they 
were put out as goon show 

153
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:46,000
Classics. 
So it should be exactly. 

154
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,300
The, so either they were 
Classics and therefore, they 

155
00:09:49,300 --> 00:09:52,400
were on the LPS and they must be
in the list or people are so 

156
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,900
familiar with them from 
listening to them so often 

157
00:09:54,900 --> 00:09:57,000
because they were on the LPS 
that they have, now become the 

158
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,800
ones that people Voted for, it 
could be either. 

159
00:09:58,900 --> 00:10:03,300
I agree. 100%. 
Yeah, with that, it's giving 

160
00:10:03,300 --> 00:10:05,400
nothing away. 
But to say that this, this list 

161
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,900
is very heavily. 
Weighted towards the LPS, I'd 

162
00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:10,400
love to know what the selection 
criteria were for. 

163
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,300
Some of the Guangzhou Classics, 
including that, that is e, c. 

164
00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:16,500
This is the thing. 
It's all very well for you. 

165
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:17,900
Young people. 
I don't know how old you are 

166
00:10:17,900 --> 00:10:24,700
Shawn, but Tyler is a child. 
But for me in the 70s, getting 

167
00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:27,400
those help ease was basically 
the only way you could hear. 

168
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:32,100
He sees things and so you got to
a year, you know, and this this 

169
00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:34,900
this went on because the thing I
was telling you before, Tyler 

170
00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:39,300
was that I bought the gun shell 
scripts book that came out. 

171
00:10:39,300 --> 00:10:42,300
So when I started secondary 
school and then you have this 

172
00:10:42,300 --> 00:10:46,000
run of goon show Classics, LPS 
from BBC and that finished when 

173
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,300
I left University. 
So for me, it's that part of my 

174
00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:53,400
life many, many years ago, but 
it did always seem like, why are

175
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,200
they chosen? 
You know, some of them were 

176
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,900
brilliant. 
Well, I do. 

177
00:10:56,900 --> 00:10:59,000
I do sir. 
Fact, that one of the main 

178
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,800
reasons, why the BBC chose 
better putting her Allure and 

179
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,500
plenty of the Elder for the 
first LP, besides the fact that 

180
00:11:04,508 --> 00:11:07,400
they're both fantastic shows. 
Yes, he is because they were 

181
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,900
complete in the archives. 
They were a full show. 

182
00:11:10,900 --> 00:11:13,100
With no Cuts in the archives, 
they didn't. 

183
00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:16,800
It wasn't, but we only have the 
transcription version or we only

184
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,400
have pick of the goons and they 
could just put it out as uncut. 

185
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,400
That's interesting. 
Yes. 

186
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,600
Because it did just seemed very 
random the ones that you would 

187
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,000
get in those. 
Days. 

188
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,400
And, you know, and there weren't
many, they would repeat them 

189
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,800
occasionally on the radio but 
there wasn't much. 

190
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,700
So, you know, you you would go 
or I would go from Sir about the

191
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:43,300
age of 13 to 18 and to just be, 
you know, it'd be a handful of 

192
00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:44,400
gun shows that you can actually 
hear. 

193
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,600
Whereas now young people have 
it. 

194
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,100
So easy, they're all just out 
there and you can listen to them

195
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:51,100
in order. 
There was absolutely no 

196
00:11:51,100 --> 00:11:54,300
possibility of getting any sense
that oh yeah, this one is from, 

197
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:55,800
you know, and then it should be 
this one. 

198
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,900
Next you could never Do that. 
So I've my copy of the Goon show

199
00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:02,900
companion here and as I got them
and put them on little 

200
00:12:02,900 --> 00:12:06,700
cassettes, I would put a little 
pencil Mark next to the episode 

201
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,200
say that I'd got it. 
The app Clinic do the hit, that 

202
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,400
was the best me to do meteor 
because I used to collect them. 

203
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:17,300
Obviously, got the, I got the 
cassettes of the LPS collected, 

204
00:12:17,300 --> 00:12:19,400
all those. 
And then I was a member of the 

205
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,800
Goon show preservation society 
and used to get these. 

206
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,300
I don't know, semi-legal 
cassettes of other. 

207
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:30,500
Shows that weren't commercially 
available, which I want me to. 

208
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:34,300
I had to get the, I got them 
from the US side of the gun show

209
00:12:34,300 --> 00:12:36,000
preservation Society. 
Yeah. 

210
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,400
And that's where I got trying to
Story and six Charlie's, which 

211
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,300
was my, my first gun shows that 
were not commercially released 

212
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:46,100
at the time. 
I must get back to the flea. 

213
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,400
Any of those chaps about this 
particular show I think Spike 

214
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,900
had been reading Samuel peeps, 
his Diaries. 

215
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,600
And in fact, I think he'd been 
reading them through a lot of 

216
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,200
1956 because personal narrative 
also takes place in that time 

217
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,100
period which was a show that was
done about six episodes before 

218
00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:07,200
this one. 
Yeah, mrs. 

219
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,000
Fitzsimmons by the way it's not 
in the real simple peeps is 

220
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,100
Diaries but she's a great 
running gag. 

221
00:13:13,300 --> 00:13:15,800
Yes. 
The other thing I observe is 

222
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,700
that you got to go out had just 
come out and this episode 

223
00:13:19,700 --> 00:13:28,300
emerged and this Said plugs it 
heavily to invite ago, he comes,

224
00:13:28,700 --> 00:13:32,000
he's just being home. 
Yes, it's all the rage. 

225
00:13:32,300 --> 00:13:34,800
Now we have these two seats been
taken. 

226
00:13:34,900 --> 00:13:56,700
No, that's so here a Charlie. 
But just like, was a Shameless 

227
00:13:56,700 --> 00:14:01,100
plug out of his songs in which 
must have been strictly illegal 

228
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:03,700
on the BBC. 
Surely they must come down very 

229
00:14:03,700 --> 00:14:06,400
hard on on any plugging of 
commercial. 

230
00:14:06,700 --> 00:14:09,300
Other commercial things that you
head out. 

231
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:13,800
Yeah, not sure how it worked. 
But anyway, let us move on. 

232
00:14:13,900 --> 00:14:19,900
Swiftly number 18 is from series
9, the call of the West, Mike 

233
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:23,300
the call of the Well, this is 
the best one. 

234
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,600
Do you think? 
Yes, I would. 

235
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,000
Whatever I voted for. 
Before I take it back, I'm 

236
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,900
hurting for call to the West. 
It's yeah. 

237
00:14:32,900 --> 00:14:37,300
Do you not like it? 
Tyler, it's great, right? 

238
00:14:37,300 --> 00:14:40,300
It's one of those that where I 
got the script booked for a 

239
00:14:40,300 --> 00:14:42,800
show. 
So I'd read the script before I 

240
00:14:42,808 --> 00:14:47,200
heard the actual audio and let's
put it this way and I love the 

241
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,800
carry on Films, but one of the 
ones I like the least is carry 

242
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,400
on cowboy. 
I don't like the fact they're 

243
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:57,900
doing semi American accent. 
No eventual but I don't know it 

244
00:14:57,900 --> 00:15:03,600
just I like I quite like carrion
Cowboy if only because said 

245
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,800
Sheamus is playing an actual 
villain. 

246
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,000
I mean he's horrible the room 
poke egg. 

247
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,500
Yep. 
Know that I knew it first from 

248
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:15,800
the the second book of scripts 
and I thought it was like the 

249
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,800
standout one in that ball. 
You know there's one or two 

250
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,700
standouts. 
But I think it, I think this is 

251
00:15:22,700 --> 00:15:28,000
really good. 
I really like it because it's a 

252
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,500
great gujjar because we're all 
familiar with cowboy films, 

253
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,600
right? 
And this is what Spike does 

254
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,600
best, you know? 
Once you've got that, you know 

255
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,700
the audience does half the work 
to make the plot because there 

256
00:15:40,700 --> 00:15:44,500
isn't any plot but you just got 
this Panorama of this sort of 

257
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:48,400
cowboy world, all these kind of 
little scenes and moments and 

258
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,400
things going on which you might 
have seen in. 

259
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,400
Various Cowboy films, but you've
got these goon characters just 

260
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,800
sort of occupying this great 
sort of expense and you just 

261
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,200
move. 
So you know it is like a great 

262
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,300
gun show in that, it doesn't 
have a story. 

263
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,000
It gives the illusion of story 
because you have these 

264
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,200
characters, you know, in this 
landscape. 

265
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,800
Yes, yes. 
I just think it's full of great 

266
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,600
jokes. 
You know, the the other. 

267
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,600
Yeah, it is. 
It's a bit of a mess, but not in

268
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,500
a bad way. 
I also think, despite the fact 

269
00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:23,800
that I often say I'm more fond 
of early Moriarty than late 

270
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,400
Moriarty, this is, I love 
Moriarty and call of the West. 

271
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,600
He's just possibly at his worst 
here. 

272
00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:36,100
And my favorite bit of all is 
the I'll be calling you sequence

273
00:16:36,100 --> 00:16:38,600
with Wallace Maxon. 
Ray is it? 

274
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,700
It's three loading means. 
Come over, we could do it alone,

275
00:16:58,700 --> 00:17:01,600
her centers. 
I think he's really brilliant in

276
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,500
this episode and his interest 
because this is the one 

277
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,300
following on. 
Is it from the one episode? 

278
00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:10,200
He missed. 
And so he comes back. 

279
00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:11,700
Back. 
And I think you have this very 

280
00:17:11,700 --> 00:17:13,300
strong episode when he comes 
back. 

281
00:17:14,500 --> 00:17:17,400
I'm not sure you mean pink. 
I guess it was the week before 

282
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,300
was who is pink oboe where 
sellers was Ill, right? 

283
00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:23,400
Okay. 
Yeah, scheduling is cause it's 

284
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,300
the one that says, six days 
before, Larry dies, isn't it for

285
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:29,300
Mary Stevens dies? 
We will mention that later. 

286
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,300
Zoila is, yeah, yeah. 
Did you not know he's dead 

287
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:43,200
surprise surprise. 
Classics Vol 9, the died, the 

288
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,300
diversity, preferred the B side,
glass of the smoking sea greens,

289
00:17:46,300 --> 00:17:49,900
which was my first show ever. 
First one ever heard that and 

290
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,600
I've just spotted at repo on my 
cover of goon show Classics Vol 

291
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,400
9 where they say Lester the 
smoking sea green was originally

292
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,100
broadcast on the 28th of January
1959. 

293
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,000
Oh it's a muzzle. 
It was 1970. 

294
00:18:02,300 --> 00:18:05,200
And also also the cover is 
interesting because it's got 

295
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,700
sleeve notes by blue bottle. 
Instead of blue bottles 

296
00:18:07,700 --> 00:18:10,400
handwriting. 
Do you have a copy of this I 

297
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,700
don't, I don't, I never had the 
tape. 

298
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:15,600
Hello, you rotten swine's. 
If you have not given me this 

299
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,000
quarter pound of Dolly mixtures,
you would not have got this copy

300
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,600
of goon. 
Show Classics, Vol 9, he said 

301
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,800
not in the voice. 
Yeah, suspect those liner notes 

302
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,800
were not written by Spike. 
I don't know who's done. 

303
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,400
But yeah, it's it's quite nice. 
It's all just sitting suits, 

304
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,100
scribbly scribbly writing and 
the cover is very nice as well 

305
00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:38,800
from Martin honey, set, lovely. 
Okay, so it's a number 17. 

306
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:44,300
This is, this is the first First
surprise, shall we say, it is 

307
00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:49,300
much as it is not a goon show 
which appeared on an LP and it's

308
00:18:49,300 --> 00:18:51,100
become. 
It's okay. 

309
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,100
I'll just tell you, it's the 
mysterious punch up the conquer.

310
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,800
It's your favorite episode. 
Tyler is my favorite bit in. 

311
00:18:58,900 --> 00:19:30,600
Hmm. 
What time is it? 

312
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,400
Presumably is his assumed this 
level of greatness because of 

313
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,400
that sequence. 
Yes, because that was a handy 

314
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,000
sequence that they could sort of
cut out and put on these, you 

315
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,600
know, sort of Heroes of Comedy. 
Sort of programs and on Channel 

316
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,100
4 in the 90s, maybe. 
Yeah, it's a distinct little 

317
00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:53,400
bit, which goes on from, you 
know, for a few minutes and I 

318
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,700
mean it's a great sequence. 
It is really good. 

319
00:19:55,700 --> 00:19:57,200
It really. 
Is it? 

320
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,200
I mean it it's It's sort of like
the thing. 

321
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,800
You the joke, you've heard 87 
times where the first time you 

322
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,700
hear it, it lays you out, but 
then you're like, oh yeah. 

323
00:20:07,700 --> 00:20:11,600
Grandad let's bring back the 
joke, it's sort of become the 

324
00:20:11,900 --> 00:20:13,800
dead parrot, sketch of the 
cocoons. 

325
00:20:13,900 --> 00:20:19,500
I suppose blue bottle and Echols
to handers were something that 

326
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,800
spike in Larry wrote throughout 
Series 5 through like nine. 

327
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:30,100
Yeah but it's like it. 
Stand apart. 

328
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,800
And it's like they Spike had had
the idea for that sequence and 

329
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,100
almost rate as the sketch and 
work on, we put it in and and 

330
00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:40,700
there is at the end of this 
episode. 

331
00:20:40,700 --> 00:20:43,200
And so yeah, I would say that 
the rest of the episode isn't 

332
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:48,000
maybe not quite you know at the 
same level as that as that 

333
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,300
routine, I'd like to know how 
much involvement Larry had in 

334
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:55,300
that sequence and how much my 
how much might get how much 

335
00:20:55,300 --> 00:20:58,400
Spike did I have no involvement 
in that exact words? 

336
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,800
Now, but it'd be interesting. 
I mean, imagine if it was solely

337
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:07,500
written by Larry, that bit, for 
example, and you know, which is,

338
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:09,700
which is not impossible. 
We do well, I mean there was 

339
00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:14,400
never no things that I ought 
that I now realize argue no gun 

340
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,700
show, classic running gags that 
were Larry's such as it's all in

341
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:20,100
the mind, you know, was very 
Stevens thing. 

342
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,300
It's a show that it was not just
because of that sequence, I 

343
00:21:24,308 --> 00:21:26,500
mean, to be look, the only 
reason I've got an issue with it

344
00:21:26,500 --> 00:21:30,200
is because it's lazy. 
A makers use it whenever they 

345
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,800
want to illustrate the Goon 
doing Schumer. 

346
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,400
And I haven't listened to the 
show itself, the whole show for 

347
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,800
many years. 
Actually, it was never one of my

348
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,800
favorites anyway, but enough 
people seem to like it, so 

349
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,200
that's why the number 17. 
Yeah. 

350
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,800
Well, he did get a release on on
a gun show Classics cassette in 

351
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,400
1992. 
So maybe that's a have that one.

352
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,700
Yeah. 
What was that? 

353
00:21:56,700 --> 00:21:58,000
Dude. 
That wasn't part of the 

354
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,200
official. 
You can do you like well you 

355
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,400
have official Canon so they 
stopped the LPS, the vinyl LPS 

356
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,800
in 1985 the last one and then 
they started doing these all 

357
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,300
packs. 
Didn't walk you know you've got 

358
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:13,300
four shows on to. 
Yes, it's yeah. 

359
00:22:13,300 --> 00:22:16,800
And in fact, I think the, when 
they released the cassette, they

360
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,700
called it. 
What time is it Eccles the 

361
00:22:18,700 --> 00:22:20,600
subtitle of that's, that's 
right. 

362
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,700
Yes, it was such a hit yet. 
Yeah, but it did. 

363
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,200
The plot sort of takes off just 
through. 

364
00:22:26,500 --> 00:22:28,100
You know. 
They always have that opening 

365
00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:31,800
bit of Bend. 
With with greenslade obey and in

366
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,200
that one it's you know it's this
is the BBC like program and then

367
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,900
see you in says you'll get a 
punch up the Conch wall and he's

368
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:48,700
just sort of rub that I just got
an idea from that and ran with 

369
00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:49,600
it. 
Yes. 

370
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,800
I'm just made the whole plot 
about that. 

371
00:22:51,900 --> 00:22:55,600
Yeah, absolutely okay. 
So number 16, we're up to number

372
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,600
16 now and it is the 
international. 

373
00:22:58,700 --> 00:23:00,500
A pudding. 
Very good. 

374
00:23:02,100 --> 00:23:05,500
I also purchased the following 
vital equipment, one knee 

375
00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:08,100
action, sir precipitating 
Christmas pudding gun. 

376
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,400
One hand painted inflatable 
Christmas pudding. 

377
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,300
Decoy was rub a hole in one 
portable plastic and Gravel 

378
00:23:13,300 --> 00:23:17,000
Road, one long bent thing. 
With the sort of lump, on the 

379
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,400
end. 
One waterproof cover for the 

380
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:27,000
same one, same 33, boxes vlo, 
kosher boots, another long. and 

381
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,900
on the end, One uncooked Levitt 
will be with sugar feather. 

382
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,300
160-foot exploitable Granite 
statue of Bessie Braddock with 

383
00:23:36,300 --> 00:23:41,800
built-in plunger. 
Detailed plans of what to do 

384
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:46,200
with long bent thing with sort 
of lump on the air again. 

385
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,200
It was from Ginger Classics, vol
3. 

386
00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:54,200
And it's one that again is one 
of the ones that I heard quite 

387
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,400
early on and very fond of it, 
although it's not One that I 

388
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,100
listen to a lot. 
So it's not burned into my 

389
00:24:01,100 --> 00:24:02,700
brain. 
Quite as much as some of the 

390
00:24:02,700 --> 00:24:05,800
others, it's really good. 
It's one of the first shows that

391
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,500
I heard rather than read the 
script of possibly its most 

392
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,500
important. 
Its biggest importance is it's 

393
00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:16,600
the first mention of Sabrina. 
Oh right. 

394
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,200
The gag might be famous or 
inFAMOUS but certainly Sabrina 

395
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,900
appears in almost every episode 
of Series 6. 

396
00:24:24,900 --> 00:24:26,500
Starting with this one of 
Sabrina. 

397
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:30,700
Of course, being a Minor British
celebrity well Mike, Mike 

398
00:24:30,700 --> 00:24:33,500
migrants. 
Yeah, my keys to have pictures 

399
00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:36,000
of Sabrina pinned on the Barrett
room wall. 

400
00:24:36,100 --> 00:24:38,300
When I was doing my national 
service in the in the late 

401
00:24:38,300 --> 00:24:41,800
1940s, yes, sir. 
Sabrina used to be what she she 

402
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,300
was like a dolly bird on the 
Telly with Arthur Esky. 

403
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,700
That's right. 
Yes, I was told. 

404
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,700
I think she was supposed to 
essentially be the dumb blond 

405
00:24:50,700 --> 00:24:57,800
character, you know, you like 
what's-her-name from the 1940s. 

406
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,100
Show that sort of thing. 
Donald Amy Macdonald. 

407
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,400
Yes, lovely Amy Macdonald, yes. 
Okay. 

408
00:25:03,700 --> 00:25:08,200
Okay, yeah, and and obviously 
Spike for some reason took a 

409
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,800
great liking to her. 
Yes, I know that would vanish 

410
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,500
just as quickly because as you 
get into Series 7, he's moved on

411
00:25:15,500 --> 00:25:17,900
to Jayne Mansfield. 
Of course, it was sort of 

412
00:25:17,900 --> 00:25:22,800
similar, sort of image and Diana
dors is comes up a lot as well, 

413
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,100
doesn't she? 
Yes the Homegrown version. 

414
00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:27,800
Well Sabrina is also homegrown 
yeah the other interesting. 

415
00:25:27,900 --> 00:25:31,000
Ting thing I find about 
Christmas pudding is that Nettie

416
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,600
comes out pretty well. 
He loses some money to grid pipe

417
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,300
in Moriarty but it doesn't sound
like he's penniless at the end 

418
00:25:38,300 --> 00:25:39,900
of it. 
He's still got plenty of money. 

419
00:25:40,300 --> 00:25:44,000
Hmm. 
Spike set the show in 1843 which

420
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,500
is the same year as Dickens A 
Christmas Carol. 

421
00:25:47,500 --> 00:25:49,200
And I don't think that's 
accidental. 

422
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,200
Nope, it's basically a Christmas
episode except that it aired on 

423
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:58,100
November 15th. 
Yes, and and I got a sequel 

424
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,900
which wasn't very good. 
No, the the sequel is not very 

425
00:26:01,900 --> 00:26:05,800
good, you know about that one. 
Mike know what's the sequel? 

426
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,600
Is the raid of? 
Oh yes, Christmas pudding. 

427
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,700
Oh, okay. 
There's one of the last 

428
00:26:11,900 --> 00:26:16,800
officially released gun shows 
merely because the sound quality

429
00:26:16,900 --> 00:26:21,200
of what remained of it was so 
poor that Ted Kendall really 

430
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,700
needed to work on it before. 
It could be put on a compendium 

431
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:29,700
number 15. 
Is from Series 5, the canal 

432
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,300
features Valentine dial The Man 
in Black. 

433
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:39,100
Yes it was clearly written for 
Valentine dial as opposed to 

434
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:44,800
Valentine tile has appeared in a
number of gun shows but there 

435
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:50,000
were basically two that exist 
that were written specifically 

436
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,500
as a vehicle for him. 
The the canal on the house of 

437
00:26:52,500 --> 00:26:55,700
teeth. 
Yes, his first appearance was 

438
00:26:55,700 --> 00:27:01,100
in, In series 3 the tragedy of 
Oxley Towers which does not 

439
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:04,400
exist anymore. 
Unfortunately and from what I 

440
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,500
believe, that's my favorite 
episode. 

441
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:16,100
Hmm. 
So is that is that his first 

442
00:27:16,100 --> 00:27:18,300
connection with Spike? 
And the, I guess they must have 

443
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:21,100
just really got on because and 
then he's in the bed sitting 

444
00:27:21,100 --> 00:27:23,400
room later. 
Of course, and then much later, 

445
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,100
he's in the great McGonagall 
film. 

446
00:27:25,900 --> 00:27:28,900
S. 
Yeah, so yeah, he is. 

447
00:27:28,900 --> 00:27:32,400
And he's in Fred. 
Yes, of course, if I can, sort 

448
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,600
of Warner Brothers cartoon, this
isn't it? 

449
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:39,300
This this episode was well, yes,
we're going down the cliff 

450
00:27:39,700 --> 00:27:42,400
Nettie, and sometimes gonna 
happen. 

451
00:27:42,500 --> 00:27:44,900
Yes. 
And I do like blue bottle is the

452
00:27:44,900 --> 00:27:47,000
as the man from the insurance 
company become. 

453
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,400
Oh, yes, has to count out the 
money. 

454
00:27:48,700 --> 00:27:51,900
This was one of the shows that 
was in the Goon show scripts, 

455
00:27:51,900 --> 00:27:55,200
which, as I mentioned on my 
first episode was my 

456
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,300
introduction to To the gun show.
Yeah, right. 

457
00:27:57,300 --> 00:28:01,500
And it had several bits that 
were cut before airing, such as 

458
00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:04,900
blood, knock made an appearance 
as Nettie's Uncle which was 

459
00:28:04,900 --> 00:28:06,800
completely cut from the final 
surgeon. 

460
00:28:06,900 --> 00:28:09,300
Yes, yes, I'm because we've 
covered this one green bottle. 

461
00:28:09,300 --> 00:28:11,900
We discussed that as well member
and Reuben Croucher. 

462
00:28:11,900 --> 00:28:14,700
Who's the catchment? 
Which was basically the Lou 

463
00:28:14,700 --> 00:28:18,300
character by a different name. 
He had a more extended scene I 

464
00:28:18,308 --> 00:28:20,500
think Shawn, didn't it? 
Yes. 

465
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,800
And Spike also rewrote a lot of 
stuff in more. 

466
00:28:25,900 --> 00:28:29,800
Or goon show scripts, there's 
lots of scenes that were not in 

467
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,800
the original script that Spike 
added in the 70s, when the book 

468
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,600
came out. 
Oh, really that? 

469
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,400
I didn't know, I didn't know 
that either. 

470
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:47,700
Happy. 
Yes, he's locked us in never 

471
00:28:47,700 --> 00:28:49,800
mind. 
Will batter the door down with 

472
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:57,000
something with a blunt head? 
I should charge the door and 

473
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,400
smash it down. 
Good man to match whatever split

474
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,500
each other. 
Yeah. 

475
00:29:30,500 --> 00:29:34,200
Number 14, is the treasure in 
the lake. 

476
00:29:34,300 --> 00:29:37,700
I'm not as tough of methods Neal
pynchon father, Commissioners 

477
00:29:37,700 --> 00:29:40,200
for old and small bets. 
Please should know. 

478
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,400
I've been instructed to inform 
you that you are next in line 

479
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,300
for the treasures of LED McCool.
It's a Heritage saw worth 10,000

480
00:29:46,300 --> 00:29:47,800
won. 
Well, I'll have to inform the 

481
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,900
little Exchange One point saw 
before you do, you must prove to

482
00:29:51,900 --> 00:29:54,000
me that you are the Scottish 
Blood Simple. 

483
00:29:55,700 --> 00:29:58,000
I'll try him on this a warm 
black more knick-knack. 

484
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,300
Damn it, Robert, the Bruce 
partick thistle. 

485
00:30:00,300 --> 00:30:05,600
Three category, just little PS 
down with England upon Hoots 

486
00:30:06,300 --> 00:30:08,700
prove. 
Positives are proved positive, 

487
00:30:08,700 --> 00:30:11,900
it'll not on the cool, you can 
go word against the hello. 

488
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:15,200
It's not another LP. 
I'll tell you that much. 

489
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,800
Yeah, it is. 
I love this one. 

490
00:30:17,500 --> 00:30:20,500
Yes. 
It's we covered it recently. 

491
00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:25,300
Ongoing pod with, with Chris 
Shaw and I mean the lp itself. 

492
00:30:25,500 --> 00:30:26,700
Is a thing of beauty in the 
sense. 

493
00:30:26,700 --> 00:30:28,800
Let's look at the cover and 
also, look at what's on the 

494
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,200
other side. 
Mike easy. 

495
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,900
It's going to be the Green State
story. 

496
00:30:32,900 --> 00:30:35,100
It's the green Side Story. 
Yes, that's right. 

497
00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:36,100
Yes. 
And there we are. 

498
00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:38,300
Yes the nice again. 
It's a honey set. 

499
00:30:38,300 --> 00:30:41,700
Martin honey, set cover, and 
yeah, depicting, the supposed to

500
00:30:41,700 --> 00:30:43,100
treasure in the lake, there 
isn't it? 

501
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,100
Yes. 
Landed this, this show. 

502
00:30:46,100 --> 00:30:52,300
I absolutely adore the show 
equals as the dog just never 

503
00:30:52,300 --> 00:30:54,800
fails to cheer me up. 
It's great. 

504
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,400
I also I love Harry C comes work
in this show. 

505
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,600
I think it's one of his best 
turns is Nettie. 

506
00:31:01,900 --> 00:31:05,200
It. 
Also I going to show 

507
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,900
occasionally, went for the 
lavatory. 

508
00:31:06,900 --> 00:31:10,600
I'll gag and most of the time, 
they're not very good but the 

509
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,800
the one in here with, I've got 
to stop. 

510
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,900
Why can't you guess? 
Hmm, this is probably my 

511
00:31:15,900 --> 00:31:18,000
favorite and of course. 
Yes. 

512
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:23,800
I mean it's a show that is set 
in Scotland and so we have many,

513
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,300
many opportunities for that 
lovely. 

514
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,000
A running gag of whenever a 
Scottish character is talking. 

515
00:31:29,100 --> 00:31:31,600
They are accompanied by bagpipes
bagpipes less. 

516
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,800
Okay, moving on. 
Number 13 is from series 8. 

517
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,500
What's it going to be from 
series 8? 

518
00:31:40,500 --> 00:31:43,100
Come on. 
I'm guessing, it's The Man Who 

519
00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:48,600
Never Was The Man Who Never Was.
They did indeed which is a 

520
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,800
remake of a Series 6 show, much 
better remake which itself was 

521
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:58,200
an extended remake of sequence 
from a series 3 show. 

522
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,900
I think I'm right in saying, 
Shalom. 

523
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,500
Yeah. 
This is this is the best version

524
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:03,800
easily. 
Yes. 

525
00:32:04,100 --> 00:32:07,600
Yeah. 
And it's I mean let's be honest.

526
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:13,500
Series 8 is patchy and that's, 
that's being generous because 

527
00:32:13,500 --> 00:32:17,400
they were they were was it every
other week there were recording 

528
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,400
to shows that we were getting 
every other week. 

529
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,900
They were in vintage vintage 
guns together with a series 8. 

530
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,100
Yes. 
And usually those weeks you can 

531
00:32:28,100 --> 00:32:32,000
sort of tell that because the 
series 8 episode was recorded 

532
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,000
second. 
Hmm for the most part and 

533
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,300
usually you can tell they're 
probably a little more giggly or

534
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:41,700
you know they tend to go off 
script more. 

535
00:32:41,700 --> 00:32:44,000
The only other series they have 
that I'd put up with The Man Who

536
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Never Was is treasure. 
The treasure in the tower. 

537
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:47,700
Mmm. 
Yes. 

538
00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:51,100
Which is an excellent one, which
you mentioned on Twitter the 

539
00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:54,300
other day I noticed and yes, 
I've gotten to that point in my 

540
00:32:54,500 --> 00:33:00,000
My idiot grades and his and you 
mentioned that that book that 

541
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,200
you have to sell a vital organ 
to afford which is what does it 

542
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,800
Milligan's accordion something 
like that, like Milligan's 

543
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:12,000
accordion, it's a one of those 
academic books for Scholars, 

544
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:17,000
examining the gun show. 
It's fascinating, get that in, 

545
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,900
you know, get I think it gets a 
few facts wrong that might 

546
00:33:19,900 --> 00:33:24,500
irritate. 
Goon listeners, but I think, in 

547
00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:27,400
terms of an academic analysis, 
it's pretty good. 

548
00:33:27,500 --> 00:33:30,700
I don't know whether it's worth 
130 pounds or whatever it goes 

549
00:33:30,700 --> 00:33:33,800
for. 
But I'm back to the pack To The 

550
00:33:33,808 --> 00:33:36,000
Man Who Never Was which is the 
episode that actually. 

551
00:33:36,100 --> 00:33:38,000
Oh sorry is not the votes? 
Yes. 

552
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,300
Yeah it's also I think I don't 
know whether this is the only 

553
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,100
wartime goon show in the 
countdown. 

554
00:33:45,100 --> 00:33:49,500
I'm sure I will find out but I 
would say probably one of the 

555
00:33:49,500 --> 00:33:53,700
best of the Or time gun shows. 
If not the best. 

556
00:33:53,700 --> 00:33:55,000
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

557
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,200
With a proper ending, a proper 
big gag Belly Laugh. 

558
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:04,700
Ending, an exact replica of the 
plan found in the uncooked. 

559
00:34:04,700 --> 00:34:14,199
Germany boot The rather ominous 
part, the only operating 

560
00:34:14,199 --> 00:34:17,500
mechanism on this weapon is a 
small metal handle, okay? 

561
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,000
And before we turn it, gentle on
me was to take the coffin. 

562
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:35,900
Jordan Sure. 
Right, hon, gentlemen, I should 

563
00:34:35,900 --> 00:34:44,300
be turning the handle five 
seconds from now 54321 church 

564
00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:54,400
but finish Ingenuity a barrel 
organ. 

565
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,400
Don't waste it. 
Echols up on the top and start 

566
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,900
scratching seek him. 15, Mark 
enough. 

567
00:34:58,900 --> 00:35:04,800
We go. 
That ending was used in the 

568
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:09,500
series 3 episode and for some 
reason, when they did, they read

569
00:35:09,500 --> 00:35:12,900
a made it for series six, they 
replaced it and it was not 

570
00:35:12,900 --> 00:35:15,300
nearly as good. 
Yeah, which I think they 

571
00:35:15,300 --> 00:35:18,200
gathered because it was back in 
again for series 8. 

572
00:35:18,300 --> 00:35:24,700
Yeah, so this is, this is we 
would lie reactive Co-written 

573
00:35:24,700 --> 00:35:28,900
this or is it just because it's 
a rewrite that he's my do? 

574
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,300
That doesn't seem to bother 
spiked it sometimes rewriting, 

575
00:35:32,700 --> 00:35:35,400
the script. 
I believe that at this point, 

576
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,200
the spike and Larry had had a 
falling out. 

577
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,200
Yeah, cuz this series as well as
everything else going on so 

578
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,600
loud. 
When does Larry right? 

579
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,100
The army game? 
Because, because you have this 

580
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:50,400
sort of period in this series 
where this is early, 1958? 

581
00:35:50,500 --> 00:35:53,600
Yeah. 
So when did the army games this 

582
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,000
I want to say 58. 
Yeah, game as well? 

583
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,000
Yeah, because you have this 
period where, you know, he's 

584
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,700
been writing spy Cab in writing 
with Larry and then they get 

585
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:06,000
this system where one week, it's
Larry and Morris Wiltshire and 

586
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,400
then the next week is Spike and 
then the next week is Solarium. 

587
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,900
Oh, that's, that's I think 
that's more down to the fact 

588
00:36:12,900 --> 00:36:15,500
that they were trying to work in
the rewrites of vintage vintage 

589
00:36:15,500 --> 00:36:18,900
goons Andrew big. 
Sleaze compendium basically had 

590
00:36:18,900 --> 00:36:22,500
spiked going to the producers 
and saying look I cannot write 

591
00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:29,400
to shows and Show in two weeks. 
And so they eventually came up 

592
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,000
that one week, Spike would write
and the next week Larry and 

593
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,400
Amorous wheelchair would write 
it. 

594
00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:37,700
It doesn't last very long 
though, that that, that would 

595
00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:41,500
seem like a sentence will set up
a at anytime to have firm for 

596
00:36:41,500 --> 00:36:44,400
two teams racing this, you know,
because turning out half an hour

597
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,600
of this stuff every week for 
however, long 26 weeks a year, 

598
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,200
that is that's a lot for anyone 
to do. 

599
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,100
It is for that is just it. 
Incredibly difficult and so 

600
00:36:56,100 --> 00:36:58,700
obviously Spike needs somebody 
to help him with it. 

601
00:36:58,700 --> 00:37:02,100
But also, you think he's the 
sort of person where he wants to

602
00:37:02,100 --> 00:37:04,800
do, what he wants to do. 
Somebody else is not going to be

603
00:37:04,900 --> 00:37:07,300
whoever they are, they're not 
going to be quite on the same 

604
00:37:07,300 --> 00:37:11,600
wavelength and see him and but 
yeah, I mean that as so, it's 

605
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,000
also around here where he sends 
a letter about wanting to get 

606
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,300
what day free moment and all 
sorts of other people, then to 

607
00:37:17,300 --> 00:37:20,700
write the show and Valentine 
dial into place sellers parts. 

608
00:37:20,700 --> 00:37:23,600
That's that's somewhere. 
Yeah I think well isn't it? 

609
00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:28,300
I think, basically Spike wanted 
a strong writing partner, who 

610
00:37:28,300 --> 00:37:31,000
would push back against him, but
eventually do whatever he 

611
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:36,400
wanted, which is hard. 
Well, yeah, I don't hate, yes, I

612
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,400
don't know, really what he wants
to write it himself but it is 

613
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,300
too much for one person even for
Spike to do all this himself, 

614
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,100
you know, you just can't hear 
you. 

615
00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:50,000
You need some way of somebody. 
Assisting, it's interesting, you

616
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,100
know, that the person who are 
supposedly works with for 

617
00:37:53,100 --> 00:37:57,700
longest in his Career is Niels 
end on the Q Series. 

618
00:37:57,700 --> 00:37:59,200
Mmm. 
Yes. 

619
00:37:59,500 --> 00:38:03,400
Really Niche and is he's not a, 
he's not a structure purse. 

620
00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:06,600
Neither is he, he's a kind of 
one liner gag person. 

621
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,400
From sort of David Frost. 
I was about to say, I recognize 

622
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,700
the name from David Frost 
Series. 

623
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,600
Yeah. 
And so he became spikes 

624
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,800
co-writer for years on all of 
the queue. 

625
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,600
Seriously, I might happen to the
into the 80s or spikes TV stuff 

626
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,200
but it's just interesting, you 
know, that he always seemed so 

627
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,000
down on. 
On Larry or we, you know, yeah 

628
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,500
comments afterwards and maybe 
you know, it's because Larry was

629
00:38:28,500 --> 00:38:32,800
not contributing the so you want
to spot would really like, is 

630
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,300
another spike in the room. 
He's just contributing the same 

631
00:38:35,300 --> 00:38:38,500
sort of mad ideas with Larry is 
probably trying to impose a 

632
00:38:38,508 --> 00:38:41,300
little bit of structure all the 
unkindly quilty. 

633
00:38:41,300 --> 00:38:43,100
Say what did he say Shawn about 
Mary's? 

634
00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:45,300
The highest-paid typist in the 
business of yeah. 

635
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:51,100
Blech literally everybody else 
says spike is wrong and I think 

636
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:56,600
that it I think we're finding 
that a lot of the more beloved 

637
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,800
goon show gags as we get more 
research into the show are not 

638
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,600
Spike, but Spike and co-writers.
Yes, right? 

639
00:39:03,900 --> 00:39:08,800
Yeah, and you see this sort of 
thing especially in the 

640
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:13,700
pre-internet age where people 
play up their accomplishments in

641
00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:16,300
order to get the recognition. 
They think they deserve. 

642
00:39:17,100 --> 00:39:20,300
You got this with Warner Brother
cartoons as well, Bob Clampett 

643
00:39:20,300 --> 00:39:24,400
and Chuck Jones famous. 
Leslie did not get on and each 

644
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,200
of them told their own version 
of who created Bugs, Bunny, and 

645
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:32,400
that sort of thing because it 
was their way of getting out 

646
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,000
there and getting noticed 
because they weren't in being 

647
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,800
invited on chat shows or 
anything. 

648
00:39:36,900 --> 00:39:38,600
Hmm. 
Good. 

649
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:39,400
Okay. 
Alright. 

650
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:44,100
So that's number 30. 
So number 12 is Wings Over 

651
00:39:44,100 --> 00:39:48,700
dagenham, another classic, you 
talked about another podcast 

652
00:39:48,700 --> 00:39:52,000
this year to do yes with with 
Eddie Robinson. 

653
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,700
And it's again, it's from you 
can say Eddie Redmayne, but 

654
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,300
never been a good booking. 
That be happy with Eddie 8 

655
00:40:00,300 --> 00:40:03,400
channels with it. 
It's ongoing checklist for 

656
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,200
number six, with the rent 
collectors. 

657
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,300
Which, actually, I prefer the 
rent collector slightly. 

658
00:40:07,300 --> 00:40:09,300
I love both. 
But the red collectors edges at,

659
00:40:09,300 --> 00:40:14,100
for me based was one of the 
First episodes where I had to do

660
00:40:14,300 --> 00:40:18,000
goon show research because when 
I first heard it, I had no idea 

661
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,700
what Lyle Street was. 
No, yes yeah. 

662
00:40:22,300 --> 00:40:26,900
Famous red light area wasn't in 
so nervous and it's got the The 

663
00:40:26,900 --> 00:40:32,100
Marvelous Cameo of George 
Chisholm from the band as 

664
00:40:32,100 --> 00:40:35,500
mechanism and thoroughly 
enjoyable. 

665
00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:37,900
Show with that very memorable 
line. 

666
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,700
I just saw the Earth very 
memorable. 

667
00:40:42,900 --> 00:40:44,800
Yes, I'm just trying to think 
just all the Earth through the 

668
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,000
clouds. 
Did it look around? 

669
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,200
Yeah. 
But I don't think it's all me. 

670
00:40:47,500 --> 00:40:50,900
Yeah, I think I thought you were
going to say he's fallen in the 

671
00:40:50,908 --> 00:40:55,800
water. 
But oh well, unofficial parents 

672
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,300
was not first appearance. 
Yes. 

673
00:40:57,300 --> 00:41:00,200
I think it was just sort of 
muttered and because they 

674
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,900
recorded Wings over dagenham and
the rent collectors on the same 

675
00:41:02,900 --> 00:41:03,800
evening. 
I believe. 

676
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,100
Yes. 
Because there was something 

677
00:41:06,100 --> 00:41:09,100
about they wanted Christmas off.
So they had to double a bunch of

678
00:41:09,100 --> 00:41:14,300
Series 7. 
It's yes, lots of good money. 

679
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:16,400
Equals helping Go reverse. 
The truck. 

680
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:22,700
Now figuring the the scene in 
any Hall and possibly possibly 

681
00:41:22,700 --> 00:41:27,300
my favorite moment in it, right?
Is is the pause when that when 

682
00:41:27,300 --> 00:41:30,300
the calls that bluebottle the 
pores before bluebottle speaks, 

683
00:41:30,300 --> 00:41:33,500
it's just sort of perfect you 
know, just sellers just playing 

684
00:41:33,500 --> 00:41:36,600
the or who's it going to be and 
oh it's him calling beef. 

685
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,900
Are calling B 4. 
Hello. 

686
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:45,000
Control calling B4. 
Hello, Captain, 

687
00:41:55,900 --> 00:42:01,400
is that you'll be for ya? 
Why did you answer me before? 

688
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:05,600
So that didn't hear you before 
and the petrol driven violin of 

689
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:06,900
course, that you mentioned in 
the podcast? 

690
00:42:06,900 --> 00:42:10,600
That's yes, but it's yeah. 
It's an old plot, isn't it? 

691
00:42:10,607 --> 00:42:12,800
Because you think it's creepy. 
One thing you think it's going 

692
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,200
to be the history of Aviation? 
Action. 

693
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:18,600
And it's sort of not. 
But there's this, this plenty. 

694
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,900
Well, how do you in heaven? 
It hadn't yet. 

695
00:42:20,900 --> 00:42:23,100
What just opened or Heathrow? 
Just opened one of those. 

696
00:42:23,100 --> 00:42:25,400
At the time, this was written, 
right? 

697
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,000
So Croydon airport, and what 
this becomes Gatwick does it or 

698
00:42:29,300 --> 00:42:31,000
not? 
He throw, I think Ridin was 

699
00:42:31,100 --> 00:42:33,600
closing maybe, right? 
Okay, yeah. 

700
00:42:34,700 --> 00:42:39,300
All right, again, if it was, it 
was as I said before, torn from 

701
00:42:39,300 --> 00:42:42,200
the headlines Spike, keeping an 
eye on what's going on in the 

702
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,600
world and getting inspiration. 
Operation from it. 

703
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,700
Okay, number 11 is from Series 
6, again, the fear of wages, 

704
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:59,900
please remove that false bald 
woman never very well. 

705
00:43:00,300 --> 00:43:09,400
I sentence you to the highly 
esteemed goon show today. 

706
00:43:09,500 --> 00:43:12,400
Presenting, what is cream? 
Steven is dating announcement 

707
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:16,400
entitled Luis, Alejo, That Pearl
meaning the wages of fear or in 

708
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,800
England, that's fear of white. 
Jesus. 

709
00:43:22,700 --> 00:43:24,100
Two things on this. 
Hmm. 

710
00:43:24,100 --> 00:43:27,500
Because I would have sworn blind
that this was on one of the part

711
00:43:27,500 --> 00:43:29,300
of phone records and is not 
know. 

712
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,000
And the other. 
The other thing that I would 

713
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,900
assume it is, obviously, 
reconstructed. 

714
00:43:35,900 --> 00:43:39,300
In my mind, the film that I 
thought that it was based on. 

715
00:43:39,300 --> 00:43:41,900
I just thought it was like a 
sort of 1950s, Humphrey, Bogart 

716
00:43:41,900 --> 00:43:43,200
film. 
So I've just always had a 

717
00:43:43,207 --> 00:43:45,500
picture of At feel and of course
it's not, it's a French films, 

718
00:43:45,500 --> 00:43:50,100
it was French for your wages. 
It was Majors a fare, you well 

719
00:43:50,100 --> 00:43:52,900
your scores wages of fear but 
who wasn't caught, he would have

720
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,100
had a French title, wouldn't it?
But yes. 

721
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,200
Yes, I come out now. 
I can't remember what the french

722
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,600
title is. 
But we made a sorcerer. 

723
00:44:01,100 --> 00:44:05,200
Yes, freaking. 
And who did the music? 

724
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,600
Because I remember that came out
in the 70s because it was 

725
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,500
Tangerine Dream, hoot music. 
Wonderful soundtrack. 

726
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,200
How are you familiar with the 
work of Tangerine? 

727
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:25,500
Dream. 
Sean, I am not a mostly from the

728
00:44:25,500 --> 00:44:29,500
mid-70s because yes, as always I
think, well I'm just going to 

729
00:44:29,508 --> 00:44:32,500
start listening to their catalog
and I get about five help ease 

730
00:44:32,500 --> 00:44:37,000
in and I realize I've got 180 to
go and I start to drop off. 

731
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,600
They were like a sort of, you 
know, old synthesized, a group 

732
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,600
before anyone was doing that. 
But But they weren't really sort

733
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:49,100
of Gloria Gaynor disco Giorgio 
moroder sort of Music where they

734
00:44:49,100 --> 00:44:54,400
were, they they were different 
there anyway, but we covered the

735
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,700
show, never fear of wages only 
about a month ago, so go back 

736
00:44:57,700 --> 00:44:59,100
and listen to that. 
If you haven't already bet it 

737
00:44:59,100 --> 00:45:01,400
spikes favorite show. 
Yes. 

738
00:45:01,500 --> 00:45:03,900
It's very much a case of a gun 
show. 

739
00:45:03,900 --> 00:45:07,100
That is gained popularity. 
Recently part of this may also 

740
00:45:07,100 --> 00:45:09,800
be because spike said, it was 
his favorite and one in one 

741
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,400
interview. 
Yeah. 

742
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:16,700
And 2001 29th of May As a new 
one on goons night on Radio to 

743
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,100
did, he didn't say it again. 
Why did he say that is? 

744
00:45:20,100 --> 00:45:22,800
Why was this suddenly his well, 
they probably putting together 

745
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:29,600
the essential Spike Milligan 
which has this script, oh I see.

746
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:36,400
Okay. 
And also the Goon show 20 which 

747
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,000
also has the Sahara Desert 
statue. 

748
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,100
My favorite Go and show has the 
fear of wages and that came out 

749
00:45:41,100 --> 00:45:42,900
in 2002. 
Yeah. 

750
00:45:42,900 --> 00:45:44,100
Okay. 
Mmm. 

751
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,600
But as I said on that show, it's
probably this this to me, this 

752
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,300
should have been on one of those
goons are Classics. 

753
00:45:49,300 --> 00:45:52,600
LP's in the 70s. 
I agree. 

754
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:58,100
I think perhaps the heavy use of
Japanese caricature might have 

755
00:45:58,100 --> 00:46:00,800
put people off. 
True true. 

756
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,900
So they held it up until much 
later to put it out and more 

757
00:46:05,900 --> 00:46:07,700
people. 
Yes. 

758
00:46:07,900 --> 00:46:10,900
Because the big dramatic idea in
the film is is driving or 

759
00:46:10,900 --> 00:46:13,500
certainly the sorcerer is so 
driving along with all this sort

760
00:46:13,500 --> 00:46:16,500
of Explosive material on the 
track. 

761
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,800
Yes. 
And that lasts for all of what? 

762
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:26,100
About 15 seconds on this just 
doesn't drive off. 

763
00:46:26,100 --> 00:46:29,100
Does he turns out? 
He hasn't driven and very good. 

764
00:46:29,100 --> 00:46:33,000
Not, it's also a great show for 
if you like sound effect, guys. 

765
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:37,200
This is a really sound effect 
driven show, easy, just me the 

766
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,400
explosions. 
They have, they don't sound as 

767
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,800
powerful as they should. 
They sound a bit muted? 

768
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,000
Or, is that just me listening to
Ooh, them. 

769
00:46:44,900 --> 00:46:47,700
Hmm. 
When that truck goes up it's 

770
00:46:47,700 --> 00:46:50,700
sort of like if it's meant to be
in the distance meant to be very

771
00:46:50,700 --> 00:46:53,500
far away though. 
Hmm physicals is driving it off 

772
00:46:54,700 --> 00:46:57,200
blue actually it turns out 
nobody's driving it off. 

773
00:46:57,700 --> 00:47:00,800
Yes blue bottles in the back and
that annoys me because he's not 

774
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,800
because he says he's not dead. 
Yes a big forgotten early in the

775
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:10,600
script already I know yeah okay 
moving swiftly on number 10 so 

776
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:15,700
we're into the top ten now 
number ten is Tales of old 

777
00:47:15,700 --> 00:47:18,500
Dartmoor. 
Oh well there is 0. 

778
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,200
So that is side. 
One of the best of the Moon 

779
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:26,500
shows the one vinyl LP that was 
put out that I don't have that I

780
00:47:26,500 --> 00:47:28,400
didn't have at the time. 
Yeah, yeah. 

781
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:32,200
That's yeah. 
So that was a very good, very 

782
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,400
good episode. 
They also had it on that. 

783
00:47:34,500 --> 00:47:37,700
You know, I mentioned I had that
record of 50 years of the BBC. 

784
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:42,100
Yes, and that's the extract they
use and they use the extract 

785
00:47:42,100 --> 00:47:44,600
where, you know, the, you know, 
the In is getting restless, we 

786
00:47:44,607 --> 00:47:47,500
had to take them on holiday, you
know, between grit pipe and and 

787
00:47:47,500 --> 00:47:49,400
see good. 
So that's the little 

788
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:53,500
representation of the Goon show 
on the 50 years, the BBC record.

789
00:47:53,500 --> 00:47:57,800
But yeah, so good. 
That did you hear Harry Hill's 

790
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:02,100
life on egg series, more 
recently on a media for? 

791
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:06,100
It's quite similar, but I mean, 
it's a hill, so, he's very good.

792
00:48:07,100 --> 00:48:08,700
But yeah. 
Well, I'd like to get Harry Hill

793
00:48:08,700 --> 00:48:11,100
on the show and put that to it. 
That he's a plagiarist. 

794
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:12,600
No, he's not a plagiarist at 
all. 

795
00:48:12,607 --> 00:48:13,600
That's not what I'm saying at 
all. 

796
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:19,700
It's sort of, he's running a 
prison, he's the governor all 

797
00:48:19,700 --> 00:48:22,700
sorts of crazy things happen. 
And, yeah, this would not have 

798
00:48:22,700 --> 00:48:25,900
been out of place in that Siri 
is so that that that's the thing

799
00:48:25,900 --> 00:48:28,400
with some of these episodes, you
could turn them into into entire

800
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,700
series, can you? 
It's because I actually heard 

801
00:48:30,700 --> 00:48:36,000
this one very late because I had
I would I deliberately avoided 

802
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:40,800
listening to the Emi shows for a
long time because I am such a 

803
00:48:40,808 --> 00:48:45,200
big fan of Ray and Max I did. 
Not want to hear shows without 

804
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,400
the musical numbers. 
So I don't think I heard Tales 

805
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,700
of old Dartmoor until it was 
released on the compendium and 

806
00:48:51,700 --> 00:48:54,600
of course, you know, after 
hearing it you're like, oh yes, 

807
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:58,500
that's why it was chosen. 
As one of the first gun LP, it 

808
00:48:58,500 --> 00:49:01,600
must literally be the best of 
the Moon shows because it's side

809
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,600
what, but it has got some very 
corny jokes in. 

810
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:10,000
It, it has to be said, because 
you've got the made myself 

811
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,100
appear and your job will be in 
Jeopardy. 

812
00:49:13,100 --> 00:49:15,800
Don't want to go. 
And convict equals folding in a 

813
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:17,800
bucket wet cement. 
Becoming a hardened criminal. 

814
00:49:18,700 --> 00:49:22,000
They get the digging their way 
out of a floating prison. 

815
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,600
Joking twice, once early on and 
then as the finale of the show, 

816
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,500
basically saying that, yes, 
which also gives us a wonderful 

817
00:49:28,500 --> 00:49:33,000
example of grit pipe completely 
panicking, which you rarely hear

818
00:49:33,900 --> 00:49:37,900
ya to me as well. 
This this this is a special show

819
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:41,500
is one of the again it's one I 
heard quite early on, but I said

820
00:49:41,500 --> 00:49:45,600
before the first game show ever 
heard in its Gertie was the last

821
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:52,300
smoking Siegen, but I'd kind of 
heard this show by osmosis my 

822
00:49:52,300 --> 00:49:56,900
dad, when I was very young would
be quote chunks of the show 

823
00:49:57,900 --> 00:50:00,900
without without attributing it, 
you know, he would just say 

824
00:50:00,900 --> 00:50:03,700
lines and I didn't know what the
hell, you know, they did, but 

825
00:50:03,700 --> 00:50:06,000
they were just funny lines. 
He was saying or funny gags that

826
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,600
he was saying, and we didn't 
have this LP in the house, so he

827
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,200
must have had it when he was 
heard it when he was much 

828
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:13,400
younger. 
You know, when it, when it came 

829
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:17,900
out memorized it but it's 
special to me for that, you 

830
00:50:17,900 --> 00:50:21,400
know, it's the show that my dad 
would would quote 

831
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:38,800
I should've said that sooner. 
Okay, so number nine we have 

832
00:50:38,900 --> 00:50:44,200
from Series 7 the histories of 
Pliny, the Elder well. 

833
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:48,900
It's very, very good. 
And yet from this Lagoon shows, 

834
00:50:48,900 --> 00:50:51,700
volume, 12 ginjo Classics. 
Vol 1. 

835
00:50:51,700 --> 00:50:54,500
And it's the other side, isn't 
it from the The classic show. 

836
00:50:54,500 --> 00:50:57,900
Yeah, yeah, it takes bits of 
history from not only plenty of 

837
00:50:57,908 --> 00:51:02,300
the Elder but Spartacus and 
correct it is say or karateka. 

838
00:51:02,300 --> 00:51:08,400
Say, well, shiftin, there's also
this is one of those that I 

839
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,400
listened looked at the script on
the encyclopedia gunas and there

840
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:16,700
was a quite a bit cut by the 
producer before the show went on

841
00:51:16,700 --> 00:51:20,300
the air. 
At one point Spartacus hides in 

842
00:51:20,300 --> 00:51:26,500
the lava territory which They 
decided was perhaps a bit 

843
00:51:26,500 --> 00:51:29,700
possibly a bit too stupid. 
Still they did include apia 

844
00:51:29,700 --> 00:51:34,400
pipe, but they also had see. 
Go and saying, I know a Welsh 

845
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:39,000
MP, who'll do anything for 
publicity right now. 

846
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,800
Like, this came out in 1957, I 
can't figure out who that is 

847
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:46,700
nigh. 
Bevin, maybe, mmm, probably MMD.

848
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,000
I don't know that. 
That's the part of the problem 

849
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,900
with these first of all, I'm 
American, but secondly, you Lee 

850
00:51:53,900 --> 00:51:58,200
had to have been living in March
of 1957 to get some of these 

851
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,100
topical references that just go 
by. 

852
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:04,200
I'm trying to think of Welsh 
politicians publicity-hungry was

853
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:08,600
Limpet OPEC around in 1957. 
Was he was he? 

854
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,900
Well, she even even before The 
Cheeky Girls were born, goodness

855
00:52:11,900 --> 00:52:17,000
me this terrible. 
Anyway, it's a very but it sort 

856
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:18,900
of reminded me at the time, the 
other thing which I used to 

857
00:52:18,908 --> 00:52:22,800
enjoy very much at the same time
in my childhood, which was all 

858
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,700
the s tricks book. 
Mmm. 

859
00:52:24,900 --> 00:52:26,500
Oh, I love it. 
Yeah. 

860
00:52:26,500 --> 00:52:29,200
And this is a similar thing of, 
you know, here's these 

861
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,400
characters and you put them into
a slightly different setting 

862
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,000
each time. 
But yeah, this this was this one

863
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,600
was just great with the either 
the the football team in the 

864
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:39,100
beginning and then you know the 
sort of a human being on the 

865
00:52:39,100 --> 00:52:42,900
bill at the Kaaba. 
See him and wow and also I'm 

866
00:52:42,900 --> 00:52:45,300
very fond. 
I shouldn't be shouldn't be but 

867
00:52:45,300 --> 00:52:48,300
I'm very fond of. 
I've got a soft spot for the 

868
00:52:48,300 --> 00:52:50,800
character, flowered you and 
flower. 

869
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,400
You flowered you, as a, this is 
pretty even of his best. 

870
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:57,000
This Send the Cannell. 
Yeah yeah this thing the canal I

871
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:03,100
think it is to stand out. 
Appearances quiet till you came 

872
00:53:03,100 --> 00:53:09,600
along. 
Gonna say that a sailor's. 

873
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:21,000
Don't care. 
Everybody. 

874
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:25,700
I'm gonna plan will overpower 
the God, right? 

875
00:53:25,700 --> 00:53:33,700
I'll take my boots off. 
It's funny. 

876
00:53:33,700 --> 00:53:37,300
You say that because this is 
probably my one of my He rinses 

877
00:53:37,300 --> 00:53:43,100
of William William has that 
monologue that almost reads, 

878
00:53:43,100 --> 00:53:46,300
like, it could be taken from one
of Spike stand-up routines about

879
00:53:46,300 --> 00:53:50,700
like police brutality in the 
United Kingdom because it's, you

880
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:53,400
know, with the whole that's a 
nasty lump on your bonce. 

881
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,800
I didn't, they got away with it 
being on the show because this 

882
00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:01,300
took place in ancient Rome. 
Yeah, yeah, and nicely as well. 

883
00:54:01,300 --> 00:54:04,100
I like the fact that the end 
credits, they actually credit 

884
00:54:04,100 --> 00:54:07,600
the technical guys as well. 
Reduction guys. 

885
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:11,200
Yes, you just was okay. 
It was right near the end of the

886
00:54:11,207 --> 00:54:14,800
series I believe it was 
emotional episode of yeah. 

887
00:54:16,100 --> 00:54:21,600
Okay, so number eight, we're at 
number eight now, and it is from

888
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:25,900
Series 6, the jet-propelled 
guided Nephi, the Lord 

889
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:51,000
That's why they killed him. 
But they satirical little 

890
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,000
beginning, isn't it? 
In fact, it's sort of quite 

891
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,300
appropriate at the beginning 
because it sort of it sort of a 

892
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:01,400
waste of public money. 
Yes, we've covered this show on 

893
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:07,200
Green Pod and, and yeah, the the
idea occurred to spike, based on

894
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:08,500
a telegraph. 
Yeah. 

895
00:55:08,500 --> 00:55:10,200
So it's out. 
Yeah, it sounds like a genuine 

896
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,000
news story that they just leave 
how to the beginning and yeah, 

897
00:55:13,900 --> 00:55:16,400
yeah, it's funny enough. 
It's ongoing sure Classics, 

898
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:21,100
volume to the other side. 
Is a show that is gets a lot of 

899
00:55:21,100 --> 00:55:24,000
stick from Fast. 
W it go shop. 

900
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,900
Stick from me. 
I did not care for it. 

901
00:55:26,900 --> 00:55:30,000
Well, it's just that AE Matthews
bit at the end. 

902
00:55:30,100 --> 00:55:32,300
I just found it very confusing. 
I love that. 

903
00:55:32,300 --> 00:55:33,900
Yeah, see you. 
All right, thank you. 

904
00:55:33,900 --> 00:55:38,100
Somebody agrees with me. 
No, I read and write you can't 

905
00:55:38,100 --> 00:55:42,000
stand it. 
Yeah, because to me, it just the

906
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,200
show goes along. 
It's such a pay normally and 

907
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,100
then it hits this moment where 
the guy you know, Amy Matthews, 

908
00:55:48,100 --> 00:55:51,600
who we don't Edie. 
Remember, do we particularly 

909
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,600
now? 
Only only only for anything. 

910
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,100
Is this story? 
He's in a film. 

911
00:55:57,100 --> 00:56:00,700
I saw think it's called The 
Million Pound open. 

912
00:56:00,700 --> 00:56:02,000
Anytime. 
No with Gregory. 

913
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,700
Peck is it? 
Yeah, I think he's in that and I

914
00:56:05,700 --> 00:56:09,000
know from obviously he's a great
old actor but his father is not 

915
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:13,000
an actor like John gielgud or 
somebody like that is not bad. 

916
00:56:13,100 --> 00:56:15,800
Yeah. 
But of that ilk I guess but I 

917
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,100
mean he was on there because it 
was his new story. 

918
00:56:18,100 --> 00:56:19,100
That's right. 
Yeah. 

919
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,700
And so they actually put it into
the show, but he would not do an

920
00:56:22,700 --> 00:56:25,000
actual script. 
He wanted to just make up his 

921
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:31,000
lines, is that I think it was 
more that they didn't write. 

922
00:56:31,100 --> 00:56:33,600
They didn't bother to give him a
script because they knew he 

923
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:39,000
wouldn't stay on it a bit like 
Spike, when he was an older man.

924
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:43,000
Well yeah, but then I don't 
know, it just sort of spoil the 

925
00:56:43,008 --> 00:56:46,200
pace of the show, so it might be
excellent up to that point, I 

926
00:56:46,207 --> 00:56:47,800
can't remember. 
But yeah, they put that on the 

927
00:56:47,808 --> 00:56:51,900
other side of Jim propelled, 
guided Nephi jet-propelled that 

928
00:56:51,900 --> 00:56:53,800
Garden. 
He has a very nice cover by Bill

929
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:55,500
tidy. 
Yes, it does. 

930
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,200
It's just which makes it look 
very exciting. 

931
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,500
Yeah. 
I mean it's a fantastic episode 

932
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:03,600
taught me what the navi was 
frankly. 

933
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:05,800
Yeah. 
I always I always enjoy 

934
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:07,900
occasionally shouting out. 
I resign. 

935
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,200
Oh yes. 
And the number 7, right? 

936
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:16,700
Number seven now and it is the 
B-side of tales of old Dartmoor.

937
00:57:16,700 --> 00:57:22,800
It's Dishonored again. 
Series 9, Obviously basically 

938
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,600
toilet, you've been running this
podcast for what nearly two 

939
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:30,100
years now but still everyone's 
favorite episodes are no matter 

940
00:57:30,100 --> 00:57:32,900
what you put out, they still 
like the ones on these LPS. 

941
00:57:32,900 --> 00:57:36,500
Yeah yeah. 
Well it's another very good. 

942
00:57:37,100 --> 00:57:39,800
Very good episode. 
It's right in the middle of all 

943
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:43,700
the scripts in the second. 
Yeah, basically groups and it's 

944
00:57:43,700 --> 00:57:47,300
left out of it. 
What happened is Spike had been 

945
00:57:47,500 --> 00:57:51,600
suffering from mental Dress at 
this time, the call of the West,

946
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,500
which was the episode. 
Just before this one had barely 

947
00:57:54,500 --> 00:57:58,900
been turned in on time, right? 
And so, the BBC turned to Larry 

948
00:57:58,900 --> 00:58:02,100
Stevens to write a script but he
was unwell. 

949
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,600
And as it turned out the night, 
this was recorded was the night.

950
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:06,800
He died. 
Mmm. 

951
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:12,300
So eventually, what they did is,
they allowed us bike to remake 

952
00:58:12,300 --> 00:58:17,300
an old episode from the fifth 
series, which was technically 

953
00:58:17,300 --> 00:58:21,000
written by Spike and Eric. 
But I think most people knew it 

954
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,500
was just Spike and Eric Sykes, 
his name was not on the Remake. 

955
00:58:24,500 --> 00:58:27,700
So I don't think the BBC would 
have allowed that if it wasn't 

956
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:32,200
pretty much Spike script. 
Yeah, just want to point 

957
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,200
something out, by the way. 
And a lot of people voted for 

958
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:38,900
this and a lot of people just 
refer to it as Dishonored, 

959
00:58:39,700 --> 00:58:42,600
right? 
And I went, I had to go back to 

960
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:45,700
some of those people and say, do
you mean Because I assume they 

961
00:58:45,700 --> 00:58:50,100
meant this series 9 remake but a
couple of people insisted that 

962
00:58:50,100 --> 00:58:52,600
they did mean the series five 
white Regional. 

963
00:58:52,900 --> 00:58:56,200
Yeah. 
So it may well be that this 

964
00:58:56,300 --> 00:59:00,500
actually should be further down 
the list if you know what I mean

965
00:59:00,500 --> 00:59:04,500
in terms of its ranking but I 
just I made the assumption that 

966
00:59:04,500 --> 00:59:07,800
most people were talking about 
this show but I'm just yeah 

967
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:11,100
yeah, this is it's actually more
Rewritten than I thought. 

968
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:17,000
There's a lot of new and changed
gags between Series 5 S and 

969
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:21,900
series nines green. 
Slade's, two, four, six, eight. 

970
00:59:21,900 --> 00:59:24,000
Who do we appreciate gag? 
Is cut? 

971
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,800
Because, of course, that was 
very much, a series 5 running 

972
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:27,600
gag. 
Yes. 

973
00:59:27,900 --> 00:59:30,500
Also, Blue Bottle is no longer 
dead every week. 

974
00:59:30,500 --> 00:59:34,200
So when it leads up to that, he 
actually comes in units taught 

975
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:37,300
in that lock again, because it 
hasn't happened in a while. 

976
00:59:39,500 --> 00:59:42,200
Also. 
Yeah, because I have to do one 

977
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:45,300
nerd out this episode. 
I just to run through the 

978
00:59:45,300 --> 00:59:49,000
medley. 
So this episode we get rule 

979
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,600
Brittania by Thomas aren't 
generally considered to be the 

980
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,900
Royal Navy signature tune. 
Hmm anchors away the US. 

981
00:59:54,900 --> 00:59:58,500
Navy signature tune written by 
Charles A Zimmerman sailor's 

982
00:59:58,500 --> 01:00:01,400
hornpipe which is a traditional 
Navy song, best known for 

983
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,900
starting the Popeyes sailor, 
cartoons a life on the ocean 

984
01:00:04,900 --> 01:00:07,900
wave which is the signature tune
of the Royal Marines, by Henry 

985
01:00:07,900 --> 01:00:10,900
Russell, what shall we do with a
drunken sailor, which is a 

986
01:00:10,908 --> 01:00:15,400
traditional sea shanty, we saw 
the sea, which is from the 1836 

987
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,200
Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers 
musical follow the fleet by 

988
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,400
Irving Berlin, and Ship, Ahoy 
all the nice girls. 

989
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,500
Love a sailor is a 1908 Music, 
Hall song written by Bennett's 

990
01:00:24,500 --> 01:00:28,600
got an A Jae Millz warmer close 
to that attack. 

991
01:00:33,800 --> 01:01:39,900
I'm turning the Navy. 
Join the Army. 

992
01:01:47,500 --> 01:01:52,800
It's too damn lazy in the Navy. 
Yes, that's that's wonderful. 

993
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:54,600
Wonderful. 
Meanwhile he starts Orchestra 

994
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,200
just pulling it out of them. 
It's just an amazing. 

995
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,000
Yes. 
Yes. 

996
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,600
I also think it's got one of the
best plots. 

997
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:06,300
You don't normally think of the 
Goon show for its plots. 

998
01:02:06,300 --> 01:02:10,300
I mean, Spike tended to wander 
off of them, but this is 

999
01:02:10,300 --> 01:02:11,900
well-plotted from beginning to 
end. 

1000
01:02:11,900 --> 01:02:14,000
I think. 
Yes, yes. 

1001
01:02:14,100 --> 01:02:16,000
Yeah, with the lovely. 
Pay off at the end. 

1002
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,400
Yeah. 
It's it's obviously got the, the

1003
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:23,700
skeleton of the series 5 show, 
hasn't it so it's oh yeah. 

1004
01:02:23,700 --> 01:02:26,200
For the most part, it's the 
series 5 show with with the 

1005
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:29,400
occasional added gags. 
Yeah. 

1006
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:31,700
Yeah. 
Dad, along Henry, and mini intro

1007
01:02:31,700 --> 01:02:32,900
in that sort of thing. 
Yeah. 

1008
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,700
Okay. 
Speaking of Series 5, we get to 

1009
01:02:35,700 --> 01:02:40,300
number six on the list and it is
1985. 

1010
01:02:40,700 --> 01:02:44,000
It must me, mmm, which aisle 
shone's Sean's. 

1011
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:48,000
Debut episode on gumad. 
Yes, I find it. 

1012
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,400
One of my favorites. 
I mean, I'm especially pleased 

1013
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,900
at how it's made this list, 
given how specific the parity 

1014
01:02:54,900 --> 01:02:56,200
is. 
Mmm. 

1015
01:02:56,500 --> 01:03:03,100
This is I mean, it really is the
Peter Cushing 1984 scene by 

1016
01:03:03,100 --> 01:03:04,800
scene. 
Yeah. 

1017
01:03:04,900 --> 01:03:06,200
Because they just been on the 
Telly. 

1018
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:08,800
Not long before three weeks 
before, right? 

1019
01:03:09,300 --> 01:03:11,900
Right. 
Let's meet somewhere. 

1020
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:15,900
The moon alone, we can clasp 
each other to each other and 

1021
01:03:15,900 --> 01:03:30,600
then it's good to be alive in 
1984 now, darling, we're 

1022
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:33,900
somewhere where no one is. 
Listening another place home 

1023
01:03:33,900 --> 01:03:38,900
service 8:30 Tuesday night. 
You mean the Forbidden goon 

1024
01:03:38,900 --> 01:03:39,900
sector? 
Yes. 

1025
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:44,300
Wait, but Belcher All wearing, 
that's the anti-sex league belt.

1026
01:03:44,500 --> 01:03:46,200
Hmm. 
Well I don't think I'll come no 

1027
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:53,100
no. 
You two are wearing the anti-sex

1028
01:03:53,100 --> 01:03:57,000
league belt. 
I was forced to why my trousers 

1029
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:01,400
kept falling down Sherm. 
I'm sure that its popularity 

1030
01:04:01,500 --> 01:04:05,400
amongst the GamePad blisters is 
heightened by the episode that 

1031
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,600
we did on it. 
That can I have it was real? 

1032
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:12,100
Yeah, we're basically fantastic.
It was on the last. 

1033
01:04:12,300 --> 01:04:14,700
It was on the last LP was that 
it was fun. 

1034
01:04:14,700 --> 01:04:18,300
Um 11 yeah, 1985 and that 
yesterday. 

1035
01:04:18,300 --> 01:04:23,000
But yeah, they didn't do one in 
1984 as far as I can make out. 

1036
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,700
So and then they came back in 
1985 and then that was it for 

1037
01:04:25,700 --> 01:04:27,600
vinyl the Goon show. 
Yeah. 

1038
01:04:27,700 --> 01:04:30,500
Yeah. 
You didn't have to go back and 

1039
01:04:30,500 --> 01:04:33,100
ask people if they meant this 
one or the 15 weeks later. 

1040
01:04:33,100 --> 01:04:38,400
Did you, oh God, no, never 
occurred to me to do that, 

1041
01:04:39,700 --> 01:04:42,000
obviously, it's based on, I 
mean, Spike was friends. 

1042
01:04:42,100 --> 01:04:49,200
And with Nigel kneale who 
adapted, 1984 for the BBC, 

1043
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,400
television. 
All right, which neatly brings 

1044
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:56,800
us on to number five on our 
list, which is, can you guess is

1045
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,100
it the Scarlet capsule? 
Is the Scarlet capsule from 

1046
01:04:59,100 --> 01:05:01,300
series 9. 
Well, that's the other standout 

1047
01:05:01,300 --> 01:05:04,900
one for me in that second book 
of moon, Chae scripts, the 

1048
01:05:04,900 --> 01:05:09,100
Scarlet capsule. 
In fact, my memory of that one 

1049
01:05:09,100 --> 01:05:14,400
is that so I knew the script 
That is also we've now moved on 

1050
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:17,200
to best of the Goon chose volume
to having way because it's that 

1051
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,600
one, it's Scarlet capsule and 
tells them in church. 

1052
01:05:20,300 --> 01:05:24,600
So, so I knew it from that and I
knew the script and then on the 

1053
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:32,100
Telly one evening, they showed, 
I think it's in the 1967 film of

1054
01:05:32,100 --> 01:05:35,100
quetta Messin it. 
Mmm, so I watched that and I 

1055
01:05:35,100 --> 01:05:38,100
thought, oh, this is funny 
because they've stolen the plot 

1056
01:05:38,100 --> 01:05:40,000
of this from the Goon show. 
You see? 

1057
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,000
Because I didn't rely knew about
the original. 

1058
01:05:42,100 --> 01:05:43,800
Quite a mess. 
But I didn't realize that they'd

1059
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:46,900
been done other quatermass 
series with different story and 

1060
01:05:46,900 --> 01:05:48,600
so it's from its from that, 
isn't it? 

1061
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:53,100
But yeah, the interesting thing 
quatermass in the pit had aired 

1062
01:05:53,100 --> 01:05:58,600
in December 58 and January 59. 
And this goon show came out on 

1063
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:04,900
February, 2nd of 59 however Tony
Hancock got there first because 

1064
01:06:04,900 --> 01:06:09,300
Tony Hancock did a TV parody of 
quatermass on the 30th of 

1065
01:06:09,300 --> 01:06:12,600
January. 
So that seems to be Be spikes 

1066
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:14,900
leg. 
Doesn't it over about a month 

1067
01:06:14,900 --> 01:06:17,200
after the things been on? 
Yes, 1984. 

1068
01:06:17,500 --> 01:06:20,800
Yes, about a month or so. 
And then the and then the thing,

1069
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:22,700
turns up sober, it's burnt into 
his mind. 

1070
01:06:22,700 --> 01:06:25,500
All these seeds mentions, the 
script. 

1071
01:06:25,500 --> 01:06:28,000
This is this is what I was 
talking about earlier where the 

1072
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,800
script and more goon show 
Scripps, has added B written by 

1073
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:35,500
Spike in the 1970s, these that 
are not present. 

1074
01:06:35,500 --> 01:06:38,500
In the original type written 
script in the archives from 1900

1075
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:45,800
sort of bits with those, those 
be You're putting me on the spot

1076
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:47,100
here. 
I'd have to research it. 

1077
01:06:47,100 --> 01:06:49,500
I just wrote down. 
There were different. 

1078
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:51,000
Yeah, yeah. 
That that's interesting. 

1079
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:53,700
That isn't it. 
So we don't know if he did that 

1080
01:06:53,700 --> 01:06:55,400
in the first. 
I wish you a script. 

1081
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:57,500
I wish you hadn't done that. 
I really wish you hadn't done 

1082
01:06:57,500 --> 01:07:00,500
that with those. 
Another book of scripts in the 

1083
01:07:00,500 --> 01:07:04,000
80s called was it lost gunshot? 
Yes, lost 1-0 script. 

1084
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:07,000
And he admits in that one that 
he's Jolly them up or something,

1085
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:09,100
doesn't he? 
So yeah, yeah. 

1086
01:07:09,100 --> 01:07:11,900
It is like, you know, well that 
words with real Writing his 

1087
01:07:11,900 --> 01:07:14,600
earlier poems, isn't it? 
And sometimes they were more 

1088
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,500
transcripts I've mentioned 
before I was always very annoyed

1089
01:07:17,500 --> 01:07:20,800
when I got more goon show 
scripts, looking at who is pink 

1090
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:24,100
oboe because I expected the 
original script with Peters 

1091
01:07:24,100 --> 01:07:28,000
roles because of course you 
getting in all the others was 

1092
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:30,200
very last minute. 
Yes yeah, you're right. 

1093
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:31,100
Hmm. 
Yeah. 

1094
01:07:31,100 --> 01:07:34,200
Yeah yeah. 
This comic captured, by the way,

1095
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:40,000
not one of my favorites but I 
remember it distinctly getting a

1096
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:44,100
secondhand copy of the lp. 
She's number two and much, but 

1097
01:07:44,100 --> 01:07:47,700
much prefer entails a men's 
shirts, but the Scarlet capsule.

1098
01:07:47,700 --> 01:07:52,700
I played my best friend at the 
time was a guy called Clint and 

1099
01:07:52,700 --> 01:07:56,800
I played this to Clint cuz I cuz
he like sci-fi. 

1100
01:07:56,900 --> 01:07:59,900
I wasn't particularly sci-fi fan
but he likes Wi-Fi and I was 

1101
01:07:59,900 --> 01:08:02,300
hoping I was. 
So hoping glad no friends who 

1102
01:08:02,300 --> 01:08:04,800
were asked to stop at. 
They had no friends. 

1103
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,900
I had friends but now we know 
friends that I wanted to or that

1104
01:08:07,900 --> 01:08:11,000
I felt I could share my goon 
show obsession with but I 

1105
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:16,200
thought I'll try and see if this
will were lower Clint into, you 

1106
01:08:16,207 --> 01:08:18,500
know, into the world. 
Am I doing even better off with 

1107
01:08:18,500 --> 01:08:23,800
the fireball of Milton Street? 
Yeah, wow, it went down like it 

1108
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:28,700
hungry but see it's okay. 
I think it really depends on the

1109
01:08:28,700 --> 01:08:31,899
audience having just seen yeah, 
mass in the pit. 

1110
01:08:32,100 --> 01:08:36,200
Yeah, in my opinion, these scars
are addressed by the Germans in 

1111
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:40,800
1943, unexploded German skulls, 
I hadn't thought of that. 

1112
01:08:42,100 --> 01:08:46,800
Elephant soup with Squad spuds. 
I hadn't thought of that other 

1113
01:08:47,500 --> 01:08:52,899
Sabrina in the bath. 
I do have some spare time. 

1114
01:08:55,899 --> 01:09:01,200
I think she has gentlemen. 
It also has Andrew Timothy who 

1115
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:04,100
makes I think his only 
appearance in this countdown. 

1116
01:09:05,300 --> 01:09:09,000
Yes you're right. 
Oh spoiler is there I'm so weak.

1117
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,200
So now we know that the last 
going sure walls not going to 

1118
01:09:11,399 --> 01:09:14,399
Gyor. 01, I did. 
But I was actually supposed to 

1119
01:09:14,407 --> 01:09:18,200
be Peter, Peter Sellers in a 
scripted, as Peter Sellers doing

1120
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:20,600
a, John snag sort of voice, 
right? 

1121
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:25,100
But I guess maybe they decided, 
maybe Peter decided he was doing

1122
01:09:25,100 --> 01:09:27,000
too much, or they couldn't do 
it. 

1123
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:29,100
Or they Andrew just happened to 
walk by, who knows? 

1124
01:09:29,300 --> 01:09:32,899
Yeah, it's pre-recorded clearly,
but he do. 

1125
01:09:32,899 --> 01:09:35,899
He does it in the same way that 
he announced the early gun 

1126
01:09:35,899 --> 01:09:41,300
shows, which is to say, sort of 
slight lead our yes yes, yeah. 

1127
01:09:42,300 --> 01:09:47,200
Okay, alright, so number four, 
number four is drumroll the 

1128
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:52,100
dreaded better putting her of 
Excellency, only number for MMA.

1129
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:55,700
I think one of the things that 
strikes me about it is it's so 

1130
01:09:55,700 --> 01:10:02,100
stayed compared to later goon 
shows you really a particularly 

1131
01:10:02,100 --> 01:10:06,300
hairy is almost under playing 
it. 

1132
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:11,500
It really reads like an early 
goon show because it's not as 

1133
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:15,800
raucous as you'd expect. 
I think it's just full of really

1134
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:17,000
great. 
Funny moments. 

1135
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,900
I, you know, and I suppose it's 
just Ultra familiar, isn't it? 

1136
01:10:20,900 --> 01:10:23,200
Because it's the first one in 
the Goon Triscuits book and then

1137
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:26,700
it is it is therefore the first 
goon show I was ever exposed to 

1138
01:10:26,700 --> 01:10:35,800
so I love it to bits. 
Beyond these clips, meaning what

1139
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:42,200
a nice summer evening. 
Typically, the rain is lovely 

1140
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:48,600
and warm. 
I think I'll take one of my 

1141
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:51,300
shower. 
West is off, you devil, you. 

1142
01:10:53,500 --> 01:10:58,700
Yeah, Mimi node. 
My elephant gun idea, I don't 

1143
01:10:58,700 --> 01:11:00,300
know what you brought it for 
you. 

1144
01:11:00,300 --> 01:11:04,100
You can't shoot. 
It's in England Unit and why not

1145
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:08,700
wear active season. 
The other thing I thought 

1146
01:11:08,700 --> 01:11:11,200
listening to these again 
recently is that you get so many

1147
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:15,300
different sorts of jokes. 
It's not just remember when he 

1148
01:11:15,308 --> 01:11:17,900
rushed in one serving. 
A, I'm sorry, I haven't a clue. 

1149
01:11:17,900 --> 01:11:20,100
You know, people like it because
you get so many jokes, you know,

1150
01:11:20,100 --> 01:11:23,400
you get more jokes per minute in
this show than in any anything 

1151
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:26,200
else that's on at the moment. 
I think the Goon shows sort of 

1152
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:29,200
provides that. 
But it's it's not the fact that 

1153
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:31,400
you just have so many jokes. 
There's so many different sorts 

1154
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:36,100
of Ex you know, you get corny 
jokes, always plenty of those 

1155
01:11:36,500 --> 01:11:39,300
and then you get Jokes which is 
sort of come from nowhere, you 

1156
01:11:39,300 --> 01:11:42,300
know, think about it who could 
have thought of that, you know, 

1157
01:11:42,308 --> 01:11:45,400
just sort of these Brilliance of
Spike Milligan Concepts. 

1158
01:11:45,500 --> 01:11:48,700
You get all the sound effects 
staff, you get things that play 

1159
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:51,100
around with, you know what, you 
know what you think you're 

1160
01:11:51,300 --> 01:11:55,100
looking at, and then it turns 
out to be something else and, 

1161
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:58,100
you know, it's just getting the 
mix of those if you just did the

1162
01:11:58,100 --> 01:12:02,100
same thing over and over again. 
People just get wise to It, I 

1163
01:12:02,100 --> 01:12:05,100
think but no, you know. 
And when seeking bumps into 

1164
01:12:05,100 --> 01:12:09,700
Moriarty, putting his off 
another, you know, say that it's

1165
01:12:09,700 --> 01:12:16,200
a match for the has gone out. 
I can't spend time waste time 

1166
01:12:16,700 --> 01:12:19,200
looking at talking to him. 
God would again find the the 

1167
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:23,100
dreaded better putting her and, 
ya know, I love it. 

1168
01:12:23,100 --> 01:12:32,400
It's that great at home and 
Moriarty just goes So rich. 

1169
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:36,200
Yes, that's such a nice little 
understated gags, throwaway 

1170
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:37,400
gags. 
I love that. 

1171
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:39,700
The audience is often 
overlooked. 

1172
01:12:40,100 --> 01:12:43,500
Yeah and also the fact that 
you've just you know that match 

1173
01:12:43,500 --> 01:12:46,500
idea which plays right through 
and that there's in so many 

1174
01:12:46,500 --> 01:12:48,500
other shows. 
There's almost like this sort of

1175
01:12:48,500 --> 01:12:51,100
catchphrase for the day or you 
know, this is the thing that 

1176
01:12:51,100 --> 01:12:55,400
they just keep repeating through
each episode and you know, so 

1177
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:58,900
you've got minion Henry's sort 
of, you know, with the the match

1178
01:12:58,900 --> 01:13:01,400
on the cliff top, you know, they
don't, you can't light it. 

1179
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:05,000
During the the blackout and I'll
go to German match curse the 

1180
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:10,600
British you know, but they had a
lot cut from the aired version 

1181
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:14,900
which you can see in the gun 
show scripts which unlike later 

1182
01:13:14,900 --> 01:13:20,000
books actually is the original 
script such as where they're all

1183
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:22,500
throwing each other out of the 
boat and offering money for a 

1184
01:13:22,500 --> 01:13:25,600
place in the boat and all of 
that is in the script, but did 

1185
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:31,500
not make this episode when they 
did a Reaper performance of it. 

1186
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:35,600
It when Spike was absent one 
time and they redid it with 

1187
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:39,200
Peter doing all the voices, they
did include that scene, 

1188
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:41,800
excellent. 
If the ship sinking only below 

1189
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:46,200
the sea, we must try and save 
the ship. 

1190
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:47,700
Help me get it into the 
Lifeboat. 

1191
01:13:47,700 --> 01:13:48,500
Okay. 
All right. 

1192
01:13:51,500 --> 01:14:01,000
Tennessee. 
It's no good. 

1193
01:14:01,500 --> 01:14:03,400
The ship won't fit in the 
Lifeboat. 

1194
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:06,600
Well, that ghastly oversight by 
the designer. 

1195
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:09,700
Never mind. 
It leaves room for one more in 

1196
01:14:09,700 --> 01:14:12,500
the boat. 
I am willing to fill that 

1197
01:14:12,500 --> 01:14:15,100
vacancy. 
How did you get back on board? 

1198
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:18,500
I was molested by a lobster with
a disgusting habit. 

1199
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:23,400
I'd but not do your duty Women &
Children. 

1200
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:26,000
First Blood, not take the dummy 
out of your mouth. 

1201
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:30,900
It was also very popular judging
by the fact that you had to have

1202
01:14:30,900 --> 01:14:33,000
Wallace step in the next week to
say. 

1203
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,200
Please stop. 
Sending us, better puddings. 

1204
01:14:35,900 --> 01:14:38,100
Okay? 
That was in the Phantom head 

1205
01:14:38,100 --> 01:14:42,100
shaver episode, which I'll spoil
it. 

1206
01:14:42,100 --> 01:14:45,100
Now, that doesn't make it into 
the top three, although I think 

1207
01:14:45,100 --> 01:14:46,400
it should have done. 
Mmm. 

1208
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:49,600
Yeah, there's just too many good
shows. 

1209
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:50,400
Yes. 
Yes. 

1210
01:14:50,900 --> 01:14:53,000
Let's let's, let's get into the 
top three. 

1211
01:14:53,300 --> 01:14:57,800
Okay? 
So any predictions at this 

1212
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:00,900
point, what are we got left? 
What happened we had yet. 

1213
01:15:00,900 --> 01:15:03,600
So we've got the greenslade 
store, it Napoleon at the piano 

1214
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:05,500
is coming up shortly. 
Okay. 

1215
01:15:05,500 --> 01:15:08,800
Well, number three is Logie, 
striped, Britain. 

1216
01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:13,800
No one morning in May I was 
going through an old Espeon when

1217
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:20,400
my velvet announced a visitor. 
Well Musa, right, heads down, 

1218
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:25,200
Put my lunch back in the Dustbin
and sending me this really hot 

1219
01:15:27,300 --> 01:15:29,100
lady dog. 
Is he gonna allow me my car? 

1220
01:15:29,100 --> 01:15:36,500
My car, my car snap and now my 
friend to business, my name is 

1221
01:15:36,500 --> 01:15:37,500
Count. 
Moriarty. 

1222
01:15:37,500 --> 01:15:40,800
Have you ever heard of Dougie? 
There's no one of that name 

1223
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:43,500
here, such Christie pump. 
It listen to me while I tell you

1224
01:15:43,500 --> 01:15:47,600
a tale in. 1296, on the I love 
you were. 

1225
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:48,700
I love you. 
I love you too. 

1226
01:15:48,700 --> 01:15:53,600
Shall we dance? 
I don't wish to know that and 

1227
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:57,500
most people agree now that it's 
not written by Spike or at least

1228
01:15:57,600 --> 01:15:59,600
mostly not written by Spike. 
Yes right? 

1229
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:01,400
Yes. 
Most people think this is pretty

1230
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:05,300
much entirely Eric's work. 
This was the first goon show 

1231
01:16:05,900 --> 01:16:12,400
co-written quote by them. 
Mmm yeah and and there's a 

1232
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:15,500
there's a line where there's a 
scene where Oldham Royal 

1233
01:16:15,500 --> 01:16:19,400
infirmary is referenced and 
obviously Eric was born in 

1234
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:22,600
Oldham, wasn't he? 
So So I didn't promoting this to

1235
01:16:22,608 --> 01:16:25,100
clear indication to me that you 
know he was driving the script. 

1236
01:16:25,700 --> 01:16:29,600
Yeah I've said before that I 
think this is a fantastic 

1237
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:32,600
introduction to the Goon show 
for new listeners. 

1238
01:16:34,900 --> 01:16:40,800
Also I think it's beloved simply
because of the clergy entering 

1239
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:46,300
the vocabulary of Britain. 
I think the word liturgy had 

1240
01:16:46,300 --> 01:16:49,600
been in the Goon show since the 
very first episode of series 1. 

1241
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:52,000
You can see it in the The script
that was published. 

1242
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:54,500
That's right. 
But I think most of it most of 

1243
01:16:54,500 --> 01:16:58,000
the early scripts used it as 
just a silly word like Yankovic 

1244
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:01,300
akka. 
I don't think it was used as a 

1245
01:17:01,300 --> 01:17:04,900
malady until the greatest 
mountain in the world. 

1246
01:17:04,900 --> 01:17:10,100
But this was the show that 
really You know, made it. 

1247
01:17:10,100 --> 01:17:12,900
What it is? 
Mmm, I'm wondering if we're he 

1248
01:17:12,900 --> 01:17:16,000
was a benteen word because if 
you look at the early scripts 

1249
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:19,800
that feature the word, they all 
tend to be Pure, Heart sketches,

1250
01:17:20,300 --> 01:17:21,400
right? 
Could it be? 

1251
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:24,000
Could it be inventing? 
Would I'm sure it probably came 

1252
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:26,100
from the Army like almost 
everything. 

1253
01:17:26,100 --> 01:17:28,100
Yeah. 
That you can track down about 

1254
01:17:28,100 --> 01:17:30,600
their sense of humor. 
Yes, yes. 

1255
01:17:31,300 --> 01:17:34,800
Okay. 
So with reached the final two So

1256
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,200
it can only be numbers, no drama
anymore. 

1257
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:40,000
We don't know what they are. 
That's your order of a in. 

1258
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:44,900
All right, well, number two is 
the greenslade story. 

1259
01:17:47,500 --> 01:17:50,200
Do it. 
Well, it's a lovely episode, 

1260
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:52,200
isn't it? 
And yeah, it's really, it's just

1261
01:17:52,300 --> 01:17:54,400
absolutely brilliant. 
And, you know, just the thought 

1262
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:58,700
that, you know, this other 
character in this that you don't

1263
01:17:58,700 --> 01:18:03,200
even notice and what if we just 
put him sort of, you know, 

1264
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:05,700
Center Stage. 
Age and yet, just to the green 

1265
01:18:05,700 --> 01:18:09,400
stage story, like The Glenn 
Miller story.orchestra the kind 

1266
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:13,200
of films that would have been 
around but yeah, absolutely, 

1267
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:15,000
lovely and just totally 
ridiculous. 

1268
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:18,700
And the scene with them when 
John snake goes around to see 

1269
01:18:18,700 --> 01:18:22,300
greenslade, neither of them are 
the world's greatest actors 

1270
01:18:22,300 --> 01:18:25,300
though. 
He's just unveiling a small 

1271
01:18:25,300 --> 01:18:27,800
bronze statue of himself. 
As I think it's absolutely 

1272
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:30,900
wonderful well to stag had been 
pre-recorded in the Goon show 

1273
01:18:30,900 --> 01:18:34,800
several times but I think This 
is the only time he's actually 

1274
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:37,700
in the studio with them. 
Yes, right. 

1275
01:18:37,700 --> 01:18:41,600
Okay. 
And it's be also basically, 

1276
01:18:41,900 --> 01:18:47,000
again, sort of a timely 
reference in that ITP was 

1277
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:49,200
poaching. 
The BBC staff? 

1278
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:52,100
Yeah. 
When one of the things, I mean, 

1279
01:18:52,100 --> 01:18:55,300
Peter Sellers is on particular 
form for the, for this episode. 

1280
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:57,400
The voices. 
The range of voices that he 

1281
01:18:57,400 --> 01:19:01,900
doesn't I didn't count them, but
he does the Alva love if it's 

1282
01:19:01,900 --> 01:19:05,000
Alvin Liddell's, Secretary of 
the female voice. 

1283
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,700
He does El Valle Del himself. 
Well, he's called mr. 

1284
01:19:07,700 --> 01:19:11,600
Liddell. 
The the Pampas BBC official that

1285
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:15,300
internal battle scene. 
I don't know if this is how I 

1286
01:19:16,100 --> 01:19:21,100
sounded because I've never heard
him but if it is if you'll 

1287
01:19:21,100 --> 01:19:25,100
pardon the phrase and exquisite 
parody, not missed Greensleeves.

1288
01:19:25,500 --> 01:19:29,600
Can I can I hear you say 
something? 

1289
01:19:29,700 --> 01:19:38,000
Certainly Winds like, two 
variable by jove you couldn't 

1290
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:40,700
have picked a more appropriate 
frizz. 

1291
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:42,700
Oh, it was nothing. 
Come. 

1292
01:19:42,700 --> 01:19:48,200
Come say it again, say it again,
with a smile. 

1293
01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:56,700
And of course. 
Hmm, winds light to variable 

1294
01:19:57,800 --> 01:20:05,900
Delicious, cut and chanting. 
No, no, they say it as though it

1295
01:20:05,900 --> 01:20:21,600
were a national catastrophe, 
winds light to variable, They're

1296
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:30,400
touching, I think you have it in
this green slip, you can start 

1297
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:35,300
work at one, get me a BBC 
announcer. 

1298
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:39,700
And and also Lou is 
wonderfulness Lou, the the 

1299
01:20:39,700 --> 01:20:44,700
slightly problematic now, Jewish
character but he's amazing in 

1300
01:20:44,700 --> 01:20:48,400
this. 
So as I mean, you, I think 

1301
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:50,800
Andrew Timothy is underrated 
personally, but you I could 

1302
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:54,100
never imagine the Andrew Timothy
Story, the way you get the green

1303
01:20:54,100 --> 01:20:56,700
light story here. 
How did anyone done this before 

1304
01:20:56,700 --> 01:20:59,500
with the amount of Sir done? 
This sort of loud, humility 

1305
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:05,000
greenslade had been the villain 
before in the Phantom head. 

1306
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:09,700
Shaver yeah, he'd gotten the 
girl before in you Bandit of 

1307
01:21:09,700 --> 01:21:15,100
Sherwood Forest, right? 
But this was this was the first 

1308
01:21:15,100 --> 01:21:19,400
episode I know Andrew Andrew. 
Timothy also had occasional B in

1309
01:21:19,407 --> 01:21:21,500
the Goon show, where he talked 
about his Fan club. 

1310
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:24,900
So that did not originate with 
Wallace greenslade because it's 

1311
01:21:24,900 --> 01:21:27,500
this was clearly designed around
him. 

1312
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:30,500
Well, yes, once you've seen 
these people and what they can 

1313
01:21:30,500 --> 01:21:33,800
do and then you were right for 
that person and, you know, 

1314
01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:36,600
obviously they'd had him 
involved her quite a Time by 

1315
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:40,700
this and by this point. 
But yeah, I mean, just having 

1316
01:21:40,700 --> 01:21:44,200
the announcer is, is an odd 
thing to us now that it's like a

1317
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:45,900
standard thing in the in these 
shows. 

1318
01:21:45,900 --> 01:21:49,100
And I suppose later on you've 
got Douglas Smith in the horn 

1319
01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:51,600
and it's a sort of similar. 
I'm going on there. 

1320
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:53,800
You know, the leaves like the 
authority figure, but you can 

1321
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:56,600
take the Mickey out and then 
much later in dead. 

1322
01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:59,800
Ringers, whether sending up 
Bryan, Perkins and all this sort

1323
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:01,300
of thing? 
Well, you could argue David 

1324
01:22:01,300 --> 01:22:03,400
hatch also sent. 
Oh, yeah, the idea of 

1325
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:04,800
announcers. 
Well, that's right. 

1326
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:07,500
He sort of takes on that role, 
doesn't he know, I'm sorry that.

1327
01:22:07,500 --> 01:22:11,400
Yeah, there's like later 
episodes where he's like is, you

1328
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:14,800
know, using his authority to get
say that John Cleese sits on a 

1329
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:18,600
wasp and that sort of thing. 
Yeah, I do also this one who's 

1330
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:21,500
got the, the Echols buying at? 
I had came Which shape which 

1331
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:24,600
like the Belgian the yeah. 
Doesn't know what meant show 

1332
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:26,200
doesn't. 
Yes, he's that a few times. 

1333
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:32,000
Yeah it's a wonderful wonderful 
episode which again you know it 

1334
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:34,000
wouldn't be anyone's 
introduction to the Goon show 

1335
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:38,000
because it's got so many in 
jokes and topical references but

1336
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:40,900
it's it's a great send up of 
celebrity, isn't it? 

1337
01:22:40,900 --> 01:22:44,500
As if the thing about it is the 
absolute nonsense of it. 

1338
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:48,200
And yeah just under half of it 
how celebrities can be forgotten

1339
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:49,300
the next day? 
Yeah. 

1340
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:50,700
Oh maximize. 
Yes. 

1341
01:22:50,700 --> 01:22:51,600
Yes. 
Yes. 

1342
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:55,900
Girls who whatever happened to 
Morgan and white now. 

1343
01:22:56,300 --> 01:22:57,900
Okay. 
So so we're now at the number 

1344
01:22:57,900 --> 01:23:01,200
one point and there's no great 
surprise coming up, I don't 

1345
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:04,600
think but I wanted. 
So next week, show the next show

1346
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:07,400
after this is going to be, we're
going to cover the greenslade 

1347
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:09,900
story. 
The reason I'm not covering the 

1348
01:23:09,900 --> 01:23:12,400
number one show, it's because 
we've covered it previously on 

1349
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:14,900
goon pod and it is. 
The number one show is 

1350
01:23:22,700 --> 01:23:25,700
Napoleon's piano. 
My goodness me. 

1351
01:23:25,900 --> 01:23:29,800
Ah, hold on to your hats, it's a
near-perfect gun show. 

1352
01:23:30,300 --> 01:23:32,700
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
I did. 

1353
01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:37,000
It's a great simple hook isn't 
and do you think he'd actually 

1354
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:39,900
seen an advert to this effect? 
You know, like we have the Daily

1355
01:23:39,900 --> 01:23:42,400
Telegraph story before, you know
it seems like the sort of thing 

1356
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:45,200
that you would have seen. 
And you got to move a piano from

1357
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:46,600
one room to another. 
Mmm. 

1358
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:48,700
And then you come up with the 
Jo, what is there in two 

1359
01:23:48,700 --> 01:23:52,000
different countries? 
You know How can I now use that 

1360
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:55,400
joke? 
But yeah really. 

1361
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:58,000
And you know, the nice distinct 
settings all the way through. 

1362
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:02,800
It's always, you know, I've 
always loved the the map folding

1363
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:05,000
sequence. 
This is the Mac plan of the 

1364
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:07,100
Louvre and the surrounding 
streets. 

1365
01:24:08,500 --> 01:24:11,500
Now you take one end of this 
map. 

1366
01:24:38,100 --> 01:24:46,700
It's big, isn't it? 
Good Heavens, you're miles away.

1367
01:24:47,100 --> 01:24:49,600
Walk straight up that street. 
Take the second on the left and 

1368
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:56,800
I'll be waiting for you. 
I took a taxi it was too far and

1369
01:24:56,800 --> 01:25:00,100
and back Twila screens. 
Like he gets quite a chunky role

1370
01:25:00,100 --> 01:25:02,500
in this as well as various 
French characters. 

1371
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:07,700
Yeah, yes. 
And with his amazing acting 

1372
01:25:07,900 --> 01:25:11,400
um-hmm, even the tossed off 
lines in this. 

1373
01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:15,300
Like when Greek pipe says, this 
is the exact piano that Napoleon

1374
01:25:15,300 --> 01:25:18,500
played at Waterloo and Moriarty 
is just like the what do we lost

1375
01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:22,700
witch? 
Just in itself is a great idea, 

1376
01:25:22,700 --> 01:25:25,500
is like the fact that at the 
Battle of Waterloo Napoleon, 

1377
01:25:25,500 --> 01:25:27,900
taking a piano along to play, 
you know. 

1378
01:25:28,300 --> 01:25:30,800
Yes. 
Also showing showing my 

1379
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:34,300
american-ness. 
I had never heard of kippers 

1380
01:25:34,300 --> 01:25:37,700
until I heard this episode. 
Hmm, you missing out? 

1381
01:25:38,700 --> 01:25:44,600
No, not really no, but again, 
it's just this great mix of very

1382
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:47,000
corny but also very brilliant 
jokes. 

1383
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:51,300
You know, the ending is again a 
very current event as As a rock 

1384
01:25:51,300 --> 01:25:53,600
or rock all was very much in the
news. 

1385
01:25:54,100 --> 01:25:56,300
Absolutely look. 
It's everyone's heard it. 

1386
01:25:56,308 --> 01:25:59,100
Everyone loves it. 
It's it was on gunshot Classics,

1387
01:25:59,100 --> 01:26:03,600
Vol 4 with the flea. 
And yeah, I'm very, very fond of

1388
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:06,900
it. 
I think the standout gag is, is 

1389
01:26:06,900 --> 01:26:08,400
the piano leg. 
Sorry. 

1390
01:26:08,500 --> 01:26:11,600
So, yes, won't why do I keep 
falling down it? 

1391
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:16,300
And it has the gorilla running 
gag, is one of my favorite show 

1392
01:26:16,300 --> 01:26:18,500
length, only running gags in the
Goon show. 

1393
01:26:19,100 --> 01:26:23,400
Yes, especially With the Capper 
of I only smoke baboons. 

1394
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:25,200
Good show. 
Yes, baboon show. 

1395
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:27,000
That's great. 
That's great. 

1396
01:26:27,700 --> 01:26:30,600
You know you know he knows he's 
got a good pun when he cues in 

1397
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:36,800
the audience Applause. 
Funny, sfx, yes, okay, so chats.

1398
01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:39,600
So with grace through this list 
but what are your what are your 

1399
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:40,900
observations? 
What are your thoughts? 

1400
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:42,500
Is it fair? 
Is it, is it a fair 

1401
01:26:42,500 --> 01:26:45,200
representation? 
Do you think I know it's 

1402
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:48,300
completely wrong. 
So it wouldn't be my top 20 

1403
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:50,300
necessarily spell. 
It allowed the would be but 

1404
01:26:50,900 --> 01:26:54,000
yeah, next year Tyler is going 
to come on and give you his top 

1405
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,000
20 and tell everyone why they 
got it. 

1406
01:26:56,000 --> 01:27:00,700
Cool completely wrong and know. 
There's some great episodes that

1407
01:27:00,700 --> 01:27:03,400
there's always good stuff in 
every episode, isn't that? 

1408
01:27:03,400 --> 01:27:05,100
But some of these are just 
absolutely superb. 

1409
01:27:05,100 --> 01:27:08,200
Napoleon's piano is superb. 
The green Side Story is superb, 

1410
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:11,200
dreaded better putting her call 
to the West I think is superb. 

1411
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:14,300
No matter what you say, so yeah,
lots of Wonderful. 

1412
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:17,100
Things. 
It's not a surprise that the 

1413
01:27:17,100 --> 01:27:20,300
shows that God here are the 
shows that everybody knows. 

1414
01:27:20,300 --> 01:27:23,200
I mean, it's what everyone grew 
up with. 

1415
01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:27,200
It's what everyone's played over
and over again and so it's 

1416
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:30,600
obviously going to be you're 
going to get Napoleon's piano 

1417
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:33,300
and you're not going to get the 
Space Age. 

1418
01:27:33,700 --> 01:27:36,500
Yes, yes, yes. 
Well, let me just just just 

1419
01:27:36,500 --> 01:27:39,500
quickly the fun while they're 
wood. 

1420
01:27:39,500 --> 01:27:41,100
Lots and lots and lots of 
different shows. 

1421
01:27:41,100 --> 01:27:45,000
Voted for obviously the five 
that didn't quite Like make the 

1422
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:47,600
list, I just want to quickly run
through with it, we don't 

1423
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:51,300
comment on them, but the Tuscan 
salami Scandal, which is 

1424
01:27:51,700 --> 01:27:54,000
wonderful, which is brilliant 
show. 

1425
01:27:54,600 --> 01:28:00,100
China story, rather oddly, I 
thought but Tales of Montmartre 

1426
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:03,700
because you covered it on the 
podcast was about to say have 

1427
01:28:03,700 --> 01:28:06,200
you just done the podcast and 
possibly? 

1428
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:09,500
Not sure I mean Jake Stanton 
joke, that that wouldn't make 

1429
01:28:10,300 --> 01:28:11,700
that because I mentioned we're 
doing this list. 

1430
01:28:11,700 --> 01:28:14,300
They said all this won't make 
anyone's best. 

1431
01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:16,400
Stuff. 
But the quite a few people voted

1432
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:18,500
for that. 
The affair of the loan banana 

1433
01:28:18,700 --> 01:28:22,700
which is great and shifting 
Sands, right? 

1434
01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:27,400
I love shifting, Sands with Jack
train with Jack train, who fits 

1435
01:28:27,500 --> 01:28:29,800
perfectly into the show. 
Yes, nut. 

1436
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:32,100
No House of teeth then. 
Know it. 

1437
01:28:32,100 --> 01:28:35,300
Well, it was voted for, but no, 
I mean, I think the canal is 

1438
01:28:35,300 --> 01:28:37,600
probably the better episode. 
Yeah. 

1439
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:39,300
Yeah, true. 
Yeah. 

1440
01:28:40,700 --> 01:28:46,800
So I just a few gambaccini 
style, statistics here, Eight of

1441
01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:49,200
the top 20 with from shows from 
Series 6. 

1442
01:28:49,700 --> 01:28:53,400
Okay. 
For from Series 5 or 4 from 

1443
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:58,500
series 73 from series 9 and 11 
sole representative show from 

1444
01:28:58,500 --> 01:29:01,400
Series 8000 series 8. 
Well, it does show you know, 

1445
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:05,100
that run series 10. 
Yeah, well the most popular from

1446
01:29:05,100 --> 01:29:08,000
series 10 was Tales of men's 
shirts rather unsurprisingly 

1447
01:29:08,900 --> 01:29:12,000
which is on another LP. 
But yeah, it just shows the 

1448
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:14,000
series 5 in Series 6, really, 
you know? 

1449
01:29:14,300 --> 01:29:16,600
He does seem to be the Golden 
Era, doesn't it? 

1450
01:29:17,100 --> 01:29:21,000
Yeah, I probably am most fond of
Series 6 & 7. 

1451
01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:24,900
Yeah, ghostly just to round It 
Off. 

1452
01:29:24,900 --> 01:29:28,500
By the way, the most popular 
show voted for from the Vintage 

1453
01:29:28,500 --> 01:29:31,900
goon series again unsurprisingly
because it was on an LP. 

1454
01:29:31,900 --> 01:29:36,900
Missing number 10 Downing 
Street, which is on the very 

1455
01:29:36,900 --> 01:29:38,500
best of the Goon. 
I mean that should have been in 

1456
01:29:38,500 --> 01:29:42,900
the disk has the very best, the 
very best at gun shows volume 1.

1457
01:29:43,300 --> 01:29:45,900
We still await Volume to do. 
Yeah. 

1458
01:29:45,900 --> 01:29:52,300
We with that awful folk at phone
carrier phase with out that that

1459
01:29:52,300 --> 01:29:55,800
was actually released after the 
first goon show classic sell 

1460
01:29:55,800 --> 01:29:57,400
Peaks as part of a list of 
thoughts are. 

1461
01:29:57,400 --> 01:30:00,500
Yeah we got to get back on this.
I would I would argue that if I 

1462
01:30:00,500 --> 01:30:03,300
were going to pick a vintage 
goons episode, it would be the 

1463
01:30:03,300 --> 01:30:07,100
mummified priest, which I think 
is the best of the series. 

1464
01:30:08,100 --> 01:30:10,400
By the way, the most popular 
show from series 4. 

1465
01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:12,800
That was voted for. 
Can you guess the greatest 

1466
01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:14,200
mountain in the world? 
Correct. 

1467
01:30:14,300 --> 01:30:18,800
If that's which I adore II. 
Think I probably would have had 

1468
01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:21,200
it in my top 10. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

1469
01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:24,800
It's it's wonderful. 
There were no, just on the Goon 

1470
01:30:24,800 --> 01:30:28,900
show Classics, LPS. 
There were no showings at all. 

1471
01:30:29,700 --> 01:30:32,800
For goon show Classics. 
Vol 8, which had World War, one 

1472
01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:35,400
and nasty Affair at the bahrami 
Oasis on it. 

1473
01:30:36,100 --> 01:30:39,100
And we're now showings from 
guntur classics, volume 10, 

1474
01:30:39,500 --> 01:30:42,500
which had the whistling spy 
Enigma and I was Monty's 

1475
01:30:42,500 --> 01:30:46,400
trouble. 
Nothing from what else? 

1476
01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:49,300
Do we got goon, but not the 
Gotham. 

1477
01:30:49,500 --> 01:30:52,800
What was on that one? 
All the other EMA shows here. 

1478
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:55,300
No, there wasn't there wasn't 
any of those, a China story was 

1479
01:30:55,300 --> 01:30:58,200
in the top 25 Noma creaky 
Rising. 

1480
01:30:58,500 --> 01:31:02,500
Now, that's not very good show 
anything, but it's familiar. 

1481
01:31:02,500 --> 01:31:04,500
It's on the record. 
Like, seacams, classic 

1482
01:31:04,500 --> 01:31:11,300
performance is Moriarty. 
I mean series, 9 is. 

1483
01:31:11,300 --> 01:31:13,900
Well, we represent because if 
you think it's only 17 episodes 

1484
01:31:13,900 --> 01:31:17,200
in Syria, Schneider's well 
represented on this list and 

1485
01:31:17,300 --> 01:31:19,700
call of the West Dishonored 
again and Scarlet capture were 

1486
01:31:19,700 --> 01:31:23,600
all sequential as well. 
January February 1959. 

1487
01:31:23,900 --> 01:31:29,300
Yes, there were twelve scripts 
in the top 20 that accredited 

1488
01:31:29,300 --> 01:31:35,600
solely to spike, 62 Spike and 
Larry and to, to spike and Eric.

1489
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:40,500
And Peter eaten is the best 
represented producer with 10 

1490
01:31:40,700 --> 01:31:44,200
shows under his belt there. 
Interesting. 

1491
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:47,800
Hmm. 
So any final thoughts chaps. 

1492
01:31:48,200 --> 01:31:51,400
Well, when you say, you know, 
that most of them are Spike. 

1493
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:55,800
Only scripts, may be people who 
love the spike only ones 

1494
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:59,200
because, you know, there was a 
certain thing that certainly the

1495
01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:03,300
script books are strike only, 
it's so yeah. 

1496
01:32:03,300 --> 01:32:07,400
Yeah, I mean, two of the, I 
think two of the shows were in 

1497
01:32:07,400 --> 01:32:11,700
the essential Spike, Milligan 
from this list, Fair wages. 

1498
01:32:11,700 --> 01:32:12,800
And what was the other one 
mysterious? 

1499
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:14,900
Of the Conqueror, was it? 
I think so. 

1500
01:32:14,900 --> 01:32:18,400
Yes, right. 
So those are both spiking 

1501
01:32:18,700 --> 01:32:21,100
narrating, aren't they? 
Yes, they are. 

1502
01:32:21,100 --> 01:32:24,900
Actually aren't they? 
Yes, fear of wages is Larry as 

1503
01:32:24,900 --> 01:32:26,500
well as knit. 
Yes. 

1504
01:32:26,700 --> 01:32:30,700
Mmm. 
But Spike Planes. 

1505
01:32:30,700 --> 01:32:33,900
Full credit don't you know out 
of course. 

1506
01:32:34,200 --> 01:32:35,600
It is his shirt off. 
Yeah. 

1507
01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:38,900
I mean Ed you're the reason you 
may be seeing so many Spikes. 

1508
01:32:38,900 --> 01:32:41,100
All those groups is because 
these are the ones that Spike 

1509
01:32:41,100 --> 01:32:44,200
pushed in the BBC pushed and 
they tried acting on LP. 

1510
01:32:44,200 --> 01:32:47,400
I mean it would also see is 
going to spike and saying, which

1511
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:50,200
ones would you like to do next? 
He's probably going to remember.

1512
01:32:50,300 --> 01:32:52,900
Were the ones he did. 
Yeah, but also they are really 

1513
01:32:52,900 --> 01:32:55,400
good, you know? 
Yeah, that's that's what I made.

1514
01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:57,200
You do that. 
So the name 20 more. 

1515
01:32:57,300 --> 01:33:02,300
But yeah, well, you've given me 
a great idea, Mike. 

1516
01:33:02,300 --> 01:33:04,900
I think I actually will next 
this time next year, I think I 

1517
01:33:04,900 --> 01:33:08,100
will put out my top 20, I know, 
and what I'll do is the real 

1518
01:33:08,100 --> 01:33:10,000
will be that. 
I can't include any that are on 

1519
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:11,500
this list. 
I mean, that might make it a 

1520
01:33:11,508 --> 01:33:13,700
bit. 
Know what I was about to say. 

1521
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:15,400
Your top. 20 doesn't have the 
flea? 

1522
01:33:16,100 --> 01:33:19,000
Yeah, okay, well, I'll have to 
think about that, but it would 

1523
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:20,200
be good. 
Nice idea. 

1524
01:33:20,300 --> 01:33:23,400
Some might I might I might do 
that and then if the show is 

1525
01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:26,900
broadcast, is still going good 
guard in three years time, or 

1526
01:33:26,907 --> 01:33:28,700
whatever. 
Both of you could come back and 

1527
01:33:28,700 --> 01:33:34,700
have your top hat. 
Has a good is shown any, any 

1528
01:33:34,700 --> 01:33:37,000
final thoughts at all or 
observations? 

1529
01:33:37,700 --> 01:33:40,000
No, I think it's an excellent 
representative list. 

1530
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:42,600
If there's one thing, that 
surprised me, I am surprised 

1531
01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:44,700
that the greenslade story was so
high. 

1532
01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:48,500
I know it's become very popular 
in recent years, but I hadn't 

1533
01:33:48,500 --> 01:33:53,700
realized how popular I thought 
that Pliny the Elder would be 

1534
01:33:53,700 --> 01:33:57,100
much higher than it was. 
I mean, it's top 10 but I 

1535
01:33:57,100 --> 01:34:01,300
thought it was going to be top 
three because it I'm pretty sure

1536
01:34:01,300 --> 01:34:04,600
I seem to remember that it was 
the gun show preservation. 

1537
01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:08,400
Society did a poll in the early 
80s and I'm pretty sure that 

1538
01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:10,300
Logie strikes. 
Britain was number one and I 

1539
01:34:10,300 --> 01:34:12,400
think Pliny the Elder was the 
number two. 

1540
01:34:12,400 --> 01:34:15,300
Something like that, but tastes 
change. 

1541
01:34:16,700 --> 01:34:17,300
Okay? 
All right. 

1542
01:34:17,300 --> 01:34:20,000
Listen Shawn Mike. 
Thank you so much for joining 

1543
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:22,000
us. 
Having to get up a ridiculous 

1544
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:24,500
hour of the morning because 
you're in that America. 

1545
01:34:24,500 --> 01:34:28,400
Yeah. 
But this hour so yeah, and 

1546
01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:32,700
perhaps, as I say, if we, if we 
do do the top 20, Tyler shows 

1547
01:34:32,700 --> 01:34:37,500
next year, I could get you back 
again to to mull over those and 

1548
01:34:37,500 --> 01:34:40,000
we can we can do believe them 
over your shoulder. 

1549
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:43,300
At the same time like blue 
bottle you can do that. 

1550
01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:46,400
Yeah I'll give you the script. 
All right, chaps would listen 

1551
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:50,100
Happy New Year to you both and 
happy New Year time. 

1552
01:34:50,200 --> 01:34:54,900
Other happy New Year, everybody.
And, and let's uh say let's 

1553
01:34:54,900 --> 01:34:57,400
let's look forward to a 
wonderful 2023.
