| Description |
A Goon Show is underway but Spike Milligan is losing his lines. He falls down. He wakes up. Spike's been institutionalised. Undeterred, he writes anyway, under his hospital bed sheets, typing incessantly. But no civilised member of society can write like this: Catholic and Jewish leprechauns keep interrupting. And why do they look awfully like his fellow Goons, Peter Sellars, and Harry Secombe?
The problem is Spike can't write anymore. It's 1959 but it's war, you see - Spike's marbles have been stolen by Moriarty and Grytpype-Thynne. |
