The Canal

Everyone’s favourite Goon Show character Reuben Croucher is discussed in this week’s episode, alongside other such heavyweights of the show: Justin Eidelberger and Flowerdew. Yes, this week we’re talking about Series 5’s The Canal and once again we find Mr Valentine Dyall in fine form and at his villainous best, chewing it up something rotten! Joining Tyler to talk about the show is Singapore-based illustrator and reviewer Jonathan Roberts and among other topics they discuss Hancock’s Half Hour and a mooted Goon Show/Hancock crossover which never happened, the Telegoons, Appointment With Fear and a missing Bloodnok scene.
