"There was only one man for the job... there was only one man available!"

And so begins The Case of the Vanishing Room, the earliest Goon Show we've covered so far on this podcast, from 1954. It was later remade for the Vintage Goons series and that is the version most people will be familiar with but it stuck very closely to the original script.

This week returning guest Mike Haskins joins Tyler to examine both and try to fathom what this 'murder mystery' was all about! Did Spike lose interest halfway through the writing? Did he like the title and try to write a show around that? Who exactly WAS the murderer? And how did the room vanishing and turning up in Paris actually resolve itself? All these questions and precious few answers!

Also: Tyler's great new game "From Peter To Piper" which we are confident will never return for a further round.

Plus: dog lovers are well catered for as Huxley the hound makes his podcast debut!
