My wife, inspired by a <checks notes> Robert Downey Jr film, has just renamed our two cats Purrlock Holmes and Dr Catson.

I rolled my eyes and scoffed but damn it all I've secretly spent the last half hour trying to think of cases they could conceivably solve. The best I can do is The Sign of Paw

Tragic to see the White House being demolished. One of the United States’ oldest buildings, it was built in 1978.

This week we're talking about 'The Policy' from Series 8 which includes a nudist with no head, a lot of Larry Stephens chat and an interesting (it says here) story about BBC producer Roy Speer (who Sellers famously called pretending to be Kenneth Horne) on trial for corruption!

I fancy he may have seen the title of the podcast and misinterpreted it in same way

Just had a total stranger email and offer to be a guest on the podcast - but not to talk about anything relevant to the show.

"I’ve got sharp tools and awkward stories. Let’s make an episode that’s smart, funny, & full of stuff people actually remember."

It's the sharp tools I'm worried about

New episode! THE POLICY
pod.link/1569929507
With Andy Bell @rhaglencymru.bsky.social

The Goon Show had several fixations - plagues and disease, World War Two, the decline of Empire - and, as with this week's episode, insurance policies.

Join us under a short, fat tent for The Indigestion Waltz!

I remember when I was at primary school there was (for some reason) a craze for drawing swastikas on pencil cases with Tippex and getting very cross with my peers who indulged in this - ok, it was hardly quoting Mein Kampf but even at 8 I knew it was wrong
