Review By Edward - Before Monty Python, there was the Goon Show starring comedians Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers (of Pink Panther fame) and Harry Secombe. Secombe portrays the main character of Neddie Seagoon, a short idiot who is often taken in by the machinations of Hercules Grytpype-Thynne (Sellers) and Count Jim Moriaty (Milligan). Other characters, who are also played by either Sellers or Milligan, include Bluebottle, an East Finchley boy scout, Eccles, an idiot, and Major Bloodnok, either a war Major or a former war Major depending on the episode. These characters and more are excellently voiced by the three talented cast with and occasional appearance by the announcer, the singer (Ray Ellington) or even John Snagge. (Posted on July 25, 2012)
