It's tempting to think that #Baroque / #DerivativeWorks are a thing of the #21stCentury.
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.

I've always been bitterly sorry that I'm unable to do any of #TheGoons voices. I think he should share his gifts with a wider audience.

Advent Calendar - 02 - The Goons - I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas
I loved The Goons, I think my dad imposed them upon me - but had no problem with that. To be honest a lot of my early experience of them wasn't hearing them, but reading the scripts

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.
