New! THE LOST GOLD MINE (of CHARLOTTE)
With Paul Abbott

Schemes, stratagems and skullduggery set upon the sun-parched landscape of The Old West! Much double-crossing, desert delirium and map-tearing abounds! We also discuss Roger Bannister and 1830s filth
Looking forward to some Goon Show content on @TalkingPicsTV next weekend:

Well, it isn’t everyday I’m asked to perform an extract from lost scripts by giants of comedy on Radio Four’s ‘Today Programme’! A privilege to be asked. Here’s the fab interview with archivist @garybrannan Brannan from the University of York (44m 16s)

Reminder: @TheGSPS own Richard Usher is performing Goon Show style Galton & Simpson material in York in just two days time!

And EVEN BETTER is that the incredibly talented, brilliant @RichardAUsher will join us on Sunday to perform one, LIVE, for the first time since 1954 with all the music and sound effects and everything. We’ve been moved to a bigger room! Come along!

Incredibly excited and honoured to be performing 'Goon Show' material written for Peter Sellers by the legendary Galton & Simpson as part of @YorkFestofIdeas on 8th June. I'll be the first actor to perform this material since 1954!
