    And then within hours of tripping over the whimsical illustrations by #ToveJansson for a 1962 Swedish translation of #TheHobbit you, or more precisely, I, find a 1968 #BBC radio play adaptation of The Hobbit that, I kid you not, seems to have #SpikeMilligan's #Moriarty character from #TheGoons playing #Gandolf, and the dwarves sounding more like cherubs.

  6. #SkyArts are showing this 90 min doc about #SpikeMilligan called Spike Milligan: The Unseen Archive on Wed 7 Dec at 21:00.

    Documentary opens up Spike Milligan’s ‘treasure trove’ of scripts and footage theguardian.com/culture/2022/d

  7. Great to see Spike the Play at the New Theatre in Cardiff last night - a funny biopic of the Goons and in particular the role Spike Milligan played and how he came up against the BBC. Great Q&A at the end too featuring Spike’a daughter, Jane Milligan, and Nick Newman who co-wrote the play with Ian Hislop.
