It's 1950s austerity Britain, and out of the gloom comes Goon mania
as men, women and children across the country scramble to get their
ear to a wireless for another instalment of The Goon Show. While
Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers get down to the serious business of
becoming overnight celebrities, fellow Goon and chief writer Spike
nds himself pushing the boundaries of comedy, and testing the
patience of the BBC. Flanked by his fellow Goons and bolstered by
the e orts of irrepressible sound assistant Janet, Spike takes a
ourishing nosedive o the cli s of respectability, and mashes up his
haunted past to create the comedy of the future. His war with
Hitler may be over, but his war with Auntie Beeb - and ultimately
himself - has just begun. Will Spike's dogged obsession with nding
the funny elevate The Goons to soaring new heights, or will the
whole thing come crashing down with the stroke of a potato peeler?
