It has come to our attention that there may be net.wanderers who have no idea what all this is on about, so a word of explanation is in order. Brown! Next week, another word. Hello folks. Welcome to the new modern www-enhanced BBC Goon Show readme file folks. Certain things have been writted on the disk here. By the miracle of ftp, we bring you some original Goon Show scripts and recently composed ones by other goonfans, and other general informations, most of which are zip'd to save space and wood, so you'll have to download them and unzip in the privacy of your own trousers. There are even sounds, which are Mac sound files or Sun .au, in case you've got to go .au...

According to notoriously unreliable reports from the Usenet, Mr Russell Street, the well known cad, has undeaded his Ying Tong Iddle I Po-asked-questions file and other certain things. We have preserved here in strong fumes an original YAQ file from 1994 in case the trip to Kiwiland is too far, and you are welcome.

The American buddy Goon Archivist Mr Dick Baker has been captured by a spider, and thus has been forced to put news of his archives, plot lists, Sabrina, FAQ, YAQ &c. on the web. You may go there by clicking fatang. The doctors are still puzzled about this, but Mr Baker is still willing to make copies of Goon Shows in his archive, recently digitally remastered, for a truly nominal fee. Catch him before he comes to his senses...

Minnie has more files and info, and a mirror in Oz of the ftp here, imagine that!

When the net is behaving properly, you can visit alt.fan.goons and read the latest about Spike and Neddie.

You may also find addresses for Goon Show Preservation Society, information on joining up, a naughty list of Goon Shows on cassette and a complete Goonlist of all shows.

It may seem like gilding a dead horse now, but it's amazing to read the guidelines that the BBC published about what could be passed by the sensitive ear 'oles of the British public in the '50s and '60s. No, we will not explain here what is so funny or scandalous about the name "Hugh Jampton." You will need to go to a leather-bound library and find something about Cockney rhyming slang, how it works, and then consult an almanack to find the name of the town "Hampton Wick" which is, "Hampton Wick." Those are enough clews on a family web page.

The latest printerview with Mr Spike Milligna, the well known typing error.

Updated while walking backward for Christmas, 1995...

It's all in the mind, you know.
