The Goon Show Companion: A History And Goonography

By Jimmy Grafton and Roger Wilmut

The Goon Show Companion is the ultimate Goon book that no Goonatic should be without.

In addition to tracing the history and development of the show from its beginnings in 1951, it contains a meticulous Goonography, listing every Goon Show with its original transmission date, correct title, announced title (if this was different), and details of writers, cast and producers.

Compiled by Roger Wilmut and with a special memoir by the late Jimmy Grafton, in whose pub the first programmes were hatched, The Goon Show Companion is a must for all true fans.
