I was going to post a joke about expecting better of Michael Crawford, thinking it couldn't possibly be him, but IT ACTUALLY IS.

50 years ago this was your choice of telly viewing.

Obviously one programme stands out for me. That documentary about Milton Keynes sounds bostin.

Wings fans may like to know that on this week's Goon Pod we briefly discuss The Bruce McMouse Show, which some edgelords might try to argue was BETTER McCartney-related animation than 1968's Yellow Submarine. Don't run with scissors, lads:

31 years ago today The 1994 British Comedy Awards took place and Spike Milligan, nervous and a bit bladdered, committed lèse-majesté to the delight of tabloid editors across the land.

We talked about the whole show HERE:

Absolutely superb episode on Yellow Submarine with Joel Morris. But how did they make this film so quickly and so well? And why was the script by Erich Segal who then went on to write the film Love Story?

This week we're talking YELLOW SUBMARINE with Joel Morris.

“This film will educate generations of kids into the Beatles’ music but also into the Beatles’ sense of humour, which then gives them an access to Python and the Goons and all the stuff that we love.”

Graham Chapman wants to end it all because his wife has left him. So he employs someone - David Jason in fact - to kill him. But then his wife comes back. Awks.

Why not listen for free with the 7-day trial?

Been waiting for a parcel delivery for ages.

May have to start recording a podcast because it's guaranteed to turn up then.

I've been watching this and the idea of a serial murderer luring thousands to the North Pole via the siren song of a multitude of speak-your-weight machines in order to cause a tilting of the earth's axis just so their deaths would give him the pretext for wearing mourning attire pleases me so much

I am most definitely NOT impressed by DVD commentaries in which one of the two commentators is only seeing the flipping film for the first time.

You’ve sent me down a rabbit hole regarding Senator Roy Kendall. Turns out he was a British MI6 officer sent to Australia during the war, who stayed on and became a newsagent before being elected. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Ken...
