As part of the BBC’s Centenary celebrations, several restored shows have been getting an airing.
We’ve already looked at Peter Sellers on Hancock’s Half Hour (here). Next up for Goon fans is The Spike Milligan Show, which will be on Radio 4 Extra at 1030 on Sunday 6th November 2022.
The original broadcast of this show, which was just called ‘Spike Milligan’, was on Sunday 29 July 1973 on BBC Radio 2. Click here for the programme info (and stream after the broadcast) on BBC Sounds.
Another restored show which the BBC have played was an alternative and slightly longer version of The Dreaded Batter Pudding Hurler of Bexhill-on-Sea, (series 5, episode 3) which was played on Radio 4 Extra on Tuesday 18 October 2022. It’s available to stream here, for one month only.
