THE GOON SHOW
Sir,-I have noticed that at the end of the "Highly Esteemed Goon Show" each week, Wallace Greenslade announces that the script was by Spike Milligan and Larry Stephens. But in The Listener dated September 13, on page 7, it is stated that Spike Milligan portrays Larry Stephens (as well as Eccles, Count Jim Moriarity, Minnie Bannister and Adolphus Spriggs). I wonder how many other listeners have
noticed this?

(As far as we are able to discover, Larry Stephens is a real person who has collaborated with Spike Milligan in the series now being broadcast. But you can’t be sure of anything in the Goon Show.-Ed.)
