May 4th 2023 is the centenary of that fine Oldham born comedian, actor and scriptwriter Eric Sykes.
Eric shared offices with Spike for many years and they shared the scriptwriting duties during series 5 of the Goon Show. He and his wide array of talents will always be fondly remembered.
He granted us this interview in 2006, and there’s more about his involvement with the Goons in this article.
