Returning guest Sean Gaffney is back to talk about the Series 9 opener The Sahara Desert Statue - the one about what would happen if a nude Welshman holding a rice pudding in the middle of the desert got hit by an atom bomb. 

We talk a great deal about the events and circumstances leading up to the beginning of Series 9 and how it almost didn't get made. Spike Milligan was in Australia issuing demands to the BBC, Peter Sellers was making his first faltering steps in a legitimate stage production which famously collapsed under the weight of its star's self-indulgence, Harry Secombe was also appearing in a stage show and preparing for the Royal Variety Performance, while Max Geldray narrowly avoided the chop!

Sean and Tyler discuss the episode itself, and Sean explains why it is his go-to show when he needs a bit of comfort listening. 

There's also a slightly wince-making recording of Wallace Greenslade trying to do Goon voices... hats off to the old man for trying but wiser counsel should have prevailed!
