A Century Of Secombe!

On the 8th September 1921 Harold Donald Secombe entered the world and the world was never quite the same again! To mark his centenary Tyler and comedy writer Mike Haskins present this special episode of Goon Pod as a tribute to the multi-talented Ned of Wales whose legendary voice, infectious giggling, kindness to others and unfailing good humour held him high in the public’s affection for over five decades. We touch on pretty much every aspect of his career post-war and take a more detailed look at some of his seventies television appearances; along the way we find time to talk about his family and friends, contrast his life with his fellow Goons and there’s a fairly in-depth examination of his starring feature film debut Davy (1958). It’s 70 minutes of Secombe and we hope you come away having maybe learned a few things about Harry you didn’t know before – if not then (raspberry)! Please follow @goonshowpod and @MikeHaskins11
