A Show Called Fred
from Goon Pod · host Goon Pod
This episode is sponsored by Muc™ - it cuts down trees! Actor, musician and comedian Jeremy Limb is this week's special guest as we discuss the Goons' foray into television in the mid-fifties, specifically A Show Called Fred. Although few of the Fred shows survive (and none of its immediate predecessor Idiot Weekly Price 2d) Tyler and Jeremy worked with what they could get and what results is (we hope) an enjoyable and informative conversation about something the like of which which had never been seen on television up to that point, and which shows a clear line to future Python material (coconuts standing in as horses etc). We also celebrate Kenneth Connor, The Alberts and the ubiquitous (for this podcast in any case) Valentine Dyall. Jeremy also talks about his dad who was a notable figure within the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and composer of music for the likes of Box of Delights and Doctor Who.
