The Goon Show British Radio Comedy app give you access to 154 episodes of the Goon Show radio program plus 75 episodes from Hancock Half Hour radio show.The Goon Show,a British radio comedy program, was originally produced and broadcast 1951 to 1960. The show's chief creator and main writer was Spike Milligan. The scripts mixed ludicrous plots with surreal humour, puns, catchphrases and an array of bizarre sound effects. Many elements of the show satirised contemporary life in Britain, parodying aspects of show business, commerce, industry, art, politics, diplomacy, the police, the military, education, class structure, literature and film.Hancock's Half Hour is a radio comedy, and later television comedy, series of the 1950s and 60s written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. The series starred Tony Hancock, with Sid James; the radio version also co-starred, at various times, Moira Lister, Andre Melly, Hattie Jacques, Bill Kerr and Kenneth Williams. Comedian Tony Hancock starred in the show, playing an exaggerated and much poorer version of his own character and lifestyle, Anthony Aloysius St John Hancock, a down-at-heel comedian living at the dilapidated 23 Railway Cuttings in East Cheam.The series was influential in the development of the situation comedy, with its move away from radio variety towards a focus on character development.We have incorporated new player into the app. The new player give you continuous playback option.*The app require working internet connection.If you like our app, please rate and review it.
