The Sleeping Prince
from Goon Pod · host Goon Pod
This week Duncan Gray - the man behind the GSPS's brand spanking new website - joins Tyler to talk about an underrated Goon Show from Series 7 - The Sleeping Prince. Although the show may not figure highly on fans' lists of favourite Goon Shows, it contains arguably one of the funniest bits of music in the show's history - the glorious national anthem of Yacabaku! The episode was bumped from broadcast due to the Hungarian Uprising and BBC management felt some of the show's themes - including a revolution - were inappropriate so it was shelved for broadcast later in Series 7 and replaced by a repeat of The Greenslade Story. Duncan had a special reason for wanting to cover this particular episode and all will be revealed..!
