Listen "The £1,000,000 Penny"
Episode Synopsis
Two stories for the price of one with The Sock Jelly Murders and Ned the Miser in a show called The £1,000,000 Penny? All rather confusing really.
Harking back to earlier series formats, this excellent show from Series 9 begins with a mystery crime caper which then makes way for the episode's 'proper' drama, involving Miser Ned, a certain penny, two perfect scoundrels on a stagecoach pulled by chickens, a troop of boy scouts, some old jokes, Granny Min from Eastbourne, a cup of coffee with a bomb in it and Eccles giving Major Bloodnok the glad-eye, as well as some knotty dialogue for Peter Sellers to deliver which he manages to do with aplomb.
Our guest this time round is Nick Reeve, the brain behind the excellent Goon Show blog The Seagoon Memoirs - Home | The Seagoon Memoirs - which is helping to keep the Goons' flame burning and well worth an intense scrute.
He's very good you know. Very good indeed.
