Lost Goon Show tape

Gary Critcher

…. just wanted to mention …I don’t know if any of you are fans of the Goons, but there is this just published on the BBC website.

 It’s a quarter inch reel I found when I worked at Ken.House and returned to the Beeb at least 4 years ago.

 It turns out it was the Dreaded Batter Pudding Hurley (of Bexhill on Sea) that contained around an extra 4 minutes that have never been transmitted before. 

  They’ve finally got round to scheduling it.

Interesting as I have a copy of this recorded as Series 5, episode 3 of 26 but only timed (on file) as 27m53sec whereas many others come in almost 30min.

My list also has season 5 of 26 episodes and the photo you have sent says 26 of 24.

Confusing eh?

Most of mine were recorded of Radio7 back in 2012 and listening now it definitely talks about Batter Pudding coming up (BBC canteen meal?)

If anyone is interested I have 100+ broadcast Goon Shows on MP3.
