A bit more Spike Milligan for you...but from when he was a Goon.
The Goon Show--the show that Pythons used to watch before they montyed up.

The Goon Show was a BBC radio show from the 50's. Among the myriad characters on the show were
Eccles, the classic innocent idiot, voiced by Spike Milligan. His frequent partner in silliness was Bluebottle, a squeaky voice, self absorbed and cowardly boy scout--voice by Peter Sellers. If you don't know who Peter Sellers is...we can fix that with more videos.

About this video: It's a collage put together by a Goon fan, as a way to get this 2 minute and 30 second audio sketch on the internet. But the collage is so Goonish, it works. AND it has subtitles.

Eccles and Bluebottle NEED subtitles!

Because, if I have a long day tomorrow, I want to find this easily.

One of the few Goon Shows captured on TV.
The Whistling Spy Enigma, Part 1 of 3.

If you watch, from left to right, Peter Sellers, Harry Seacombe, and Spike Milligan in the Irish sea cap (that yes, would later be adopted by John Lennon--who also loved Spike and the boys). Ray Ellington, band leader, and Scot Impersonator.
