Hello Simon
That's a common tape, which was issued as Goon Show Classics Episode 5 in 1990. I have a copy personally, and the Society has copies of pretty much everything released. Details of the few things we don't are on our website.

Here's news of a newly published book which will pique the interest of Goon Show enthusiasts. A Lifetime in Television by Marjorie Graham looks as far back as her 1950s experiences working for Richard Lester, with Milligan, Sellers et al. on the 'Fred' TV shows.

New on The Goon Show Preservation Society website, there’s the Multiple Choice Quiz and the Peter Sellers Picture Quiz which were set for our annual meeting.
Also, stories taken from a 1996 meeting where John Browell, John P Hamilton and Brian Wiley talked of their days working with the Goons.

New! THE SALE OF MANHATTAN
With Tom Salinsky @tomsalinsky.bsky.social
pod.link/1569929507
The one where Seagoon is approached at the Athenæum Club by two chisellers, duped into believing he owns New York and paddles all the way there in a zinc bath tub to claim his birthright.
It doesn't go well.

New episode! THE POLICY
pod.link/1569929507
With Andy Bell @rhaglencymru.bsky.social
The Goon Show had several fixations - plagues and disease, World War Two, the decline of Empire - and, as with this week's episode, insurance policies.
Join us under a short, fat tent for The Indigestion Waltz!

NED: A house!
BLOODNOK: It's a mirage.
NED: Nonsense... Let's go in. Eccles - search the house for food... Oh! It's vanished. You were right - a mirage.
BLOODNOK: I told you.
ECCLES: AHHHHH!
FX: CRASH OF BODY
BLOODNOK: What happened?
ECCLES: I was upstairs.

THE NADGER PLAGUE
With Sean Gaffney @toukochan.bsky.social
pod.link/1569929507
Presumably the blue-pencil-clutching BBC censors were blissfully unaware of another meaning of the word 'nadgers' when they let this go out in 1956! We also discuss Liberace, Son of Fred, Telegoons and... Harry Potter?
