The Goon Show – The Dreaded Batter-Pudding Hurler of Bexhill-on-Sea

A mysterious criminal is terrorising Bexhill-on-Sea by hurling batter puddings at unsuspecting victims, and Neddie Seagoon is determined to bring the dangerous pastry-flinger to justice.

With an army boot discovered inside one of the puddings, a suspiciously cold delivery and clues leading all the way to Africa, the investigation rapidly descends into the wonderfully surreal chaos that only The Goon Show could produce.

Starring Harry Secombe, Peter Sellers and Spike Milligan, this classic episode combines a spoof detective story with bizarre sound effects, outrageous characters and some of the Goons’ most gloriously ridiculous humour.
