    Good stuff, Mike, thanks for posting those. Are those copied from the GS scripts book published back in the 1970's?

    Thanks, Mike. There was a second volume, as I recall. I might have to see if any of the shows are available in digital form.

    My Dad used to listen to the Goon Show all the time. He adored Spike Milligan. "He's fallen in the water!"

    Ahh... Bloodnok. A fine figure of a British officer..

    "Major Bloodnok! Major Bloodnok! There's a German officer outside!" "Oh my god.... I surrender!" "No, no... he's a prisoner!" "Well bring him in then, the cowardly swine!"

    "How dare you Sir, I'm a British officer..." "Which means?" "I'll only do it for the money"
