Writer for Goon Show & Tony Hancock. Commando Captain. Deaded in 1959 so posts channelled by my cousin.
Larry Stephens agreed! There was a temporary producer standing in for Roy Speer at the time and Larry wrote to the Asst. Head of Light Entertainment after the broadcast to say how horrified he was at the "senseless cuts" and at the messing about by the cast that had been left in.

Like that episode, it's by Milligan's regular co-writer Larry Stephens. I think we underrate Stephens' importance to the Goons, because we know Milligan's personality and can see it all over the show. But episodes like this show he was well capable of carrying the style and humour solo. #GoonForARun
