The Goon Show

The Six Ingots of Leadenhall Street (5x23)

: 01, 1955

First Broadcast: 1955-03-01 Recorded: 1955-02-27 Author: Spike Milligan and Eric Sykes Producer: Peter Eton Notes: The title situation for this show can best be described as confusing. The front of the script, Radio Times, Programme Index and the 'Programme as Broadcast' files give the title as 'The Terrible Blasting of Moreton's Bank'. However, the show is in fact 'The Six Ingots of Leadenhall Street', the script postponed from 15th February 1955, is announced as such, and titled as such by TS. Strictly speaking, the title ought to match the official files, but since the 'Six Ingots' title makes more sense, and in fact would have been the official title of the script had not the last-minute change of plan happened. Hence the given title.
