Grytpype-Thynne: Good news Moriarty, the March issue of Goon Show News has been posted out to the membership.
Moriarty: Sapristi Grytpype, it’s still only February, or if you’re in the Chateau D’If, nous ne sommes qu’en février. The GSPS are spoiling us…
Issue 192, the March edition of the GSPS newsletter, is indeed on it way to our members, on paper and PDF.
This edition has two major stories. There’s an appreciation of Goon Show scriptwriter and GSPS Honorary President John Antrobus, who passed away in December at the age of 92, and the cheerier confirmation that King Charles III is continuing to be the patron of the GSPS.
We also look at music in the Goon Shows, a mystery from the first ever Goon Show (aka Crazy People) episode, and consider Spike’s contributions to The Marty Feldman Comedy Machine and the early TV programme Secombe Here. Plus there are many more snippets included.
The clickable Kick up the Archives feature from this issue is here.
The Goon Show News newsletter/magazine thingy is published quarterly and sent to all of our members. A sample copy can be downloaded here. If you’re not getting it, why not join the GSPS. You won’t be disappointed.
