During Series 8 of The Goon Show the team also recorded a dozen or so remakes of episodes which originally went out in 1954 and these were gathered together into a series especially for Transcription Services called Vintage Goons. Apart from a handful which were broadcast immediately ahead of the start of the ninth series the rest of the shows were not broadcast in the UK until the 80s & 90s, and in one case, 2008.
This episode returning guest John Dredge discusses the first of these, The Mummified Priest, from 1957. It centres around unprincipled gadabout Ned Seagoon, whose ruthless determination to discover a tomb full of untold riches sees him hotfoot it to Egypt upon a thrilling adventure!
