The Goon Show was one of the most major highlights of comedy in the entire history of mankind. It was a radio show dating from post-WWII. The Goons were Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe, Peter Sellers, and (originally) Michael Bentine. They were basically the Monty Pythons of their generation, but much, much funnier. They did a whole range of voice characters, all of which have passed into comic history, in INSANE shows which they wrote themselves.
The first Goon Show I ever heard, to give you some idea, was entitled The Dreaded Batter Pudding Hurler of Bexhill-On-Sea.
