THE GOON SHOW
Sir,-I am solidly behind your several recent correspondents who desire further series of the Goon Show. I cannot, however, agree with their derogatory remarks about TIFH and Radio Roadhouse. These are still very fine shows, Goons notwithstanding. I would like to add a word of appreciation also for Hancock’s Halt-hour, which seems to me to be in the very top rank. It possesses, in Sid James, a character to rival even the fabulous "Wal" of TIFH, and in at least one respect it reaches the outer terminus of novelty-it has no vocal or musical item
whatever!
