The Last Goon Show of All (1972)

For the BBC's 50th Anniversary the archives delivered three coffins before a distinguished audience at the Camden Theatre in London in 1972. They contained three legends of entertainment history...

Spike Milligna, the well-known typing error, script-writer and voice of Eccles, Moriarty, Little Jim and Minnie Barrister.
Peter Sellers, alias Major Bloodnok, Bluebottle and Henry Crun, practising his comeback by whistling a soliloquy from Hamlet.
Harry Secombe, bald, toothless, Welsh and weighing thirty-seven stone. Also the brains and brawn behind Neddy Seagoon, dressed in a floral cretonne frock as the Goons take their final bow in this their last performance after twelve years of silence.

From 1952 to 1960 The Goon Show spawned a cult of quickfire humour as Radio's most influential clowns. Driven by an inspired lunacy they wrenched conventional comedy into a new era. This DVD is a lasting tribute to their genius demonstrating the combined manic brilliance of Milligan, Sellers and Secombe is as fresh and funny as yesterday.
