This episode deals with the influence of the Goon Show, especially Spike Milligan. The anarchic spirit of the radio programme ironically arose from the experiences of the cast in the military during World War II. The show broke many of the rules of comedy that were thought iron-clad and the surreal scripts -- mostly by Milligan -- influenced a whole generation of comedy performers and writers as well as musicians. Milligan, Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe -- and for one series, Michael Bentine -- brought a new kind of comedy to the airwaves, along with a unique approach to sound, and the lively jazz music performed by Ray Ellington, himself a Black Jewish son of a musical hall comedian.
