O ovoj audioknjizi

Goon but not forgotten! Here's a crazy quartet of cult comedy classics from the most celebrated and influential clowns in the history of radio. GO ON - in search of The Dreaded Batter Pudding Hurler of Bexhill-on-Sea. The trail is still warm (we hate cold batter pudding). Or join Brutus Moriartus and Caractacus Seagoon in ancient Roman epic The Histories of Pliny the Elder (they'll fight up hill and down Mrs Dale). Take tea with Bluebottle on The Jet Propelled Guided NAAFI and go lamp-post hunting in The Evils of Bushey Spon. Yes folks, it's those highly esteemed wireless wizards Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, and Harry Secombe. What's the Tiber? Half past niber. When in Rome...
