5.0 out of 5 stars The Goons at their hilarious best, as always, 3 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Goon Show Classics: The Reason Why/The Treasure in the Tower/The Plasticine Man/The Silent Bugler. Four Original BBC Radio Episodes v.17: The ... Radio Episodes Vol 17 (BBC Radio Collection) (Audio Cassette)
Spike Milligan, Peter Sellars and Sir Harry Secombe display why they are British comedy legends in this brilliant collection of episodes from 1957 and 1958. This is a classic example of the Goons doing what has made them the greatest comedy program in Britain's radio history. 'The Reason Why' is in a strange format as it is without the normal studio audience participation, and I often find myself cringing at the ramblings of a trio of gentlemen doing exactly what they usually do to hilarious effect, yet somehow with the subtraction of a studio audience, it seems like amateur actors' audition tapes. The three remaining episodes more than make up for this disappointment. 'The Treasure in the Tower' is an example of the goons' hilarious ingenuity through flitting between 1600 and 1957 (the year of the recording) with side-splitting results. 'The Plastacine Man' sees Neddie Seagoon trying to become a jazz superstar. He enlists the help of Grytpype-Thynne, whose plan to bury Neddie at Stone Henge in order for him to be discovered has hysterical consequences. The title piece, 'The Silent Bugler' sees British agent Capt. Hairy Seagoon trying to track down the elusive 'Silent Bugler'. Arguably the best on the cassette, the search for the Russian spy, and his time machine. This episode is incredibly funny, from the mission brief, through the sensitivity test from Colonel Bloodnok, all the way to the final showdown at the Dresden State opera.
