Thanks for the links - I had The Last Goon Show Of All on video but
lent it and never got it back.

There were some other videos of the Telegoons and even the real people
in the Mukkinese Battle Horn.

Sans Secombe, but with ***** Emery...

Secombe was a strange bloke. He was a trained operatic tenor as well
as a very funny man. He combined these in a 1952 Ealing comedy where
he played a circus clown going for a new career.

His first real training was as an artillery gunner!

When I was a small boy I won a pair of guest tickets to Hulton's Boys
and Girl's Exhibition, It was opened by Harry Secombe and we were part
of his party. He kept us laughing and made a great impression on us.

You lucky *****! ;)

Hulton Press published the Eagle comic. After one exhibition I wrote
telling them how much I liked it. The next year they invited half a
dozen kids who'd done that to a "conference" to get ideas for the next
one. When it was held, they sent the kids tickets.

I was an Eagle reader as well. One of the pleasures of returning from
the annual holiday was to pick up the back issues from the newsagent,
lay them out on the ground and read across three episodes at a go. I
did eventually get to meet Harry Secombe but I was quite a large boy
by then. He was a guest speaker at a BIPP fellow's dinner - must have
been around 1982. He was a very entertaining speaker and seemed to be
a genuinely nice guy. Shame he turned to the dark side (Songs of
Praise),

You lucky, lucky *****!

Down under, we only got the Eagle Annuals.
I think that I still have one in my archives.
In fact, I am sure of it.
My fave was the Mekon!
My mate in grade 5, Clive Herde, was spoilt rotten and had the whole
collection.
He also had copious quantities of Thunderbirds stuff as well.
(But I had a far better train set!)

(You wouldn't guess that I was 51, physiognomically at least)

One fine day in alt.atheism, Christopher A.Lee <calee@optonline.net>
bloodied us up with this:
