Whichever… it’s news
The Beeb Beeb Ceeb has announced the closure of some broadcast services including Radio 4 Xtra, the current home of the weekly rebroadcast of The Goon Show (airs Tuesday at 08:00, 12:00 and 19:00).
Listeners of this station should not be too concerned, as it is strongly rumoured that Radio 4 Xtra will continue online as a digital service available via BBC Sounds.
Following the recent discovery that the BBC has been quietly cutting inappropriate things from programmes before rebroadcast, the highly-unpaid staff at Encyclopædia Goonicus Productions Unlimited have been capturing all episodes of The Goon Show from the latest series of rebroadcasts that commenced on Tuesday 21st December 2021, with an airing of series 6, episode 9: The International Christmas Pudding.

Volunteers to participate in the exercise should submit their application forms together with the sizeable entrance fee to the editor of this publication. Our quest to preserve The Goon Show continues …
