RJS1977 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I used to listen to episodes on MP3 via headphones when I was doing a weekly commute from Reading to Exeter. I got some very peculiar looks at Taunton station one time when I burst ut laughing to Eccles and Bluebottle timing how long it takes for a fuse to burn on a stick of dynamite!

Chris Heighton Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 My favorite would have to be one of the first my dad let me listen to on L.P: Wings over Dagenham. The warped logic is brilliant: SEAGOON (to PILOT): Don't Land! PILOT: I can't land. SEAGOON: Why not? PILOT: I havn't got enough petrol! And of course, the fantastic sound effects (How else would you portay a Steam-Driven Rocket?) All comic masterpeices! -Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Lambton58 Posted March 1, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2012 That's no more curried eggs for you - 'twas actually in "Robin Hood (and his mirry mon)". Needle nardle noo! Mate! And nobody seems to have mentioned The Case of the Missing CD Plates yet. "Cor blimey" "No, Corps diplomatique! Why, do you not like pigeon pie? Disgusted by your old world charm sir!

Then there were the regular (or was that 'irregular'?) sounds of Major Bloodnok's digestive processes ("Senna pod and gunpowder curry."). *************** I just thought of another favourite of mine, 'The Canal', with Valentine Dyall trying to eliminate Ned by throwing him in the canal for the insurance.

EddieB Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Although very much of their time, the humour is timeless. Still funny, even when you know what's coming. The radio shows were before my time, by when they had tried the adapting to TV as the Telly Goons (less said, the better). More I catch up with the shows the more I enjoy.

steve22 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Somewhere in my small collection of Goon Tapes; maybe in The Lost Emperor. Walking through the desert, desparate for water. Dialogue something like: 'Look, a house!' 'It's just a mirage.' 'It's a house!' 'It's just a mirage, I tell you.' Sound of door being opened. 'A mirage you say? Huh! Everyone search the house! Hey, what's happened? The house - it's disapeared!' 'I told you it was just a mirage.' 'Aaaaarrggghhh!....' sound of person falling and loud crash. 'Eccles, what happened!' 'I was upstairs!!'

SRman Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I loved that one. They were searching for an Egyptian tomb, I think (long time since I heard it!). From the same one, I think: Seagoon: We're looking for a tomb. Bloodnok: In your case, a wise decision! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happens just a few seconds before that part: Eccles: Ooh, look up there. There's vultures circling! Seagoon: Boodnok, do you thing they're waiting, waiting to eat us? Bloodnok: I'm not sure. But keep your eyes on the ones carrying knives and forks! Seagoon: Look, a house! ... Also from the same one, Neddy asks Willium (the cockney) if he has seen someone and gets this reply: "I knows a bald 'eaded old woman called Rattler Blotts!" Matt.
