The talking-type wireless ... with leather speaking trumpet ...

Orchestra:
['Who Were You With Last Night' very fast, 'Razza Ma Tazz']

Secombe:
Ah, what a composer that Richnah Wagner was. Now, tonight, the Goons, with the aid of a calibrated Turkish boot lathe and a portable volcano net, will re-enact a drama of crime. Mr. Greenslade?

Greenslade:
Yes, sir?

Secombe:
Tell the eager masses what we have in store for them.

Greenslade:
Rubbish.

Secombe:
Thank you. Yes, it's rubbish - but to make it more interesting we call it...


The Goon Show
Harry Secombe, Michael Bentine, Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers (27 May 1951)
