#FavCharacterH for #FavCharacterAtoZ .So many choices. Honor Harrington, Hugo "I'm not getting better am I, Mummy?" Chiddingfold, Han Solo, just to name a few.
But no. None of these.
For H it has to be Henry Crun. The barely sentient septuagenarian and beloved of Minnie Bannister. From, of course, the Goon Show.
(From the Dreaded Batter-Pudding Hurler of Bexhill-on-Sea)
Henry: Here, Minnie, hold my elephant gun.
Minnie: I don't know what you brought it for. You can't shoot elephants in England, you know.
Henry: And why not?
Minnie: They're out of season.
Henry: Does this mean we shall have to have pelican for dinner again?
Minnie: I fear so, I fear so.
Henry: Then I'll risk it. I'll shoot an elephant out of season. -

Baby #GoonShow: Down among the Z men (1952)
Only one playing fairly straight in the quite silly plot is baby Peter.

Peter Sellers was one of the finest actors there ever were. I had never realised as I don't enjoy the cringe comedy of Pink Panther or The Party. If only he had not been such a troubled person he would have left so many more classics to enjoy.
I am quite partial to the cherub faced Sellers of the 1950s and Goon period. Some nice person even put "Penny Point to Paradise" on the internet. Now I wish more than ever all Goon Shows had been televised. They were amazing.

Ok, Bluebottle singing the Third Man Theme in the sewers is my favourite sound of (at least) the week.

Okay, so my favourite Goon is now Hercules Grytpype-Thynne. Brilliant name, wonderful intonation and the kind of villain I enjoy. Then it's Bluebottle and Eccles and of course Wallace Greenslade.
I love that some good people put all available episodes on the Internet.

I've been painting the understairs storage area and have got #bbcradio4extra on in the background.
Who knew that Harry Seycombe (Goons, singer, actor etc) was a Wildlife Photographer as well? -

One of my favourite Goon Show lines:
"Call a meeting of all the people we keep specially for meetings!"
It seems some things haven't changed a lot since the 1950s...
