The Goon Show

The Evils of Bushey Spon (8x25)

: 17, 1958

1958-03-17 Recorded: 1958-03-16 Author: Spike Milligan Producer: Charles Chilton Notes: With A. E. Matthews. Inspired by a real-life row A. E. Matthews was having with his local council about a concrete lamp-post they wanted to put outside his house. (There is also a reference to this in the previous show). Mr Matthews appears only in the last five minutes of the show, which are ad-libbed by all concerned owing to Mr Mathews's utter refusal to stick to the plot.
