Goons: Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, Harry Seacomb, the original lunatic British humor series. It was a principal inspiration of the Monty Python group.

The apparent cure for Lurgi is band instruments, apparently dropped from WWII bombers. (Can one imagine being crushed by a contrabass tuba?)

Wish there was a complete episode on line, but BBC holds their cards close to the chest, this in spite that the three principals are all now dead.

The Goons forever!!!

Release the audio into the public domain, Auntie Beeb!
