Advent Calendar - 02 - The Goons - I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas

The Goons

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 - although I did occasionally get lucky enough to hear a show or two on the radio - or on LP - but I read more Goon shows than I heard and what I heard most was this, and The Ying Tong Song - probably on Junior Choice.

I also read Spike’s books and poetry and wathced the Qn series avidly.

There are holes in the sky where the rain gets in
They’re ever so small. That’s why the rain is thin
