'''''Cinderella''''' is an end of series Christmas pantomime special episode from [[The Goon Show]] (Crazy People).

The show was had a pre-recording session at 1.15pm on Sunday {{Date|1951-12-16}}. The recording took place at [[Aeolian Hall (London)|Aeolian I]], 135–137 [[Bond Street|New Bond Street]], London. This was followed the same day, and at the same location for the main show recording session carried out at 8pm that evening.

The first British public broadcast was on the [[BBC Home Service|Home Service]] on Wednesday {{date|1951-12-26}} at 8pm (except Wales and Northern Ireland). It reached a peak listenership of 1.8m.

The show starred [[Harry Secombe]], [[Peter Sellers]], [[Michael Bentine]], [[Spike Milligan]], [[The Stargazers (vocal ensemble)|the Stargazers]], [[Max Geldray]], [[Ray Ellington|the Ray Ellington Quartet]] with [[Stanley Black]] and the Dance Orchestra. The show was produced by [[Dennis Main Wilson]], and was announced by an uncredited [[Andrew Timothy]].

== BBC Audio Synopsis ==
Based on actual documents from the files and the dustbins of the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], the torrid drama unfolds on Christmas Eve as the King decrees that every ''aligebbebble'' spinster will attend a Royal Ball in order that the Prince may choose a bride. But there is no way that Cinderella can attend when her Ugly Sisters keep her hard at work cooking the dinner, stewing the [[Prunes|prunes]], peeling the [[Potato|spuds]], dibbing the dobber, nashering the nasher and zibbling the zobber. However, help is on hand in the form of Montague Mouse and his friends…

==Music==
*[[Lizbeth Webb]] and [[The Stargazers (vocal ensemble)|The Stargazers]] sang ''[[Dream Lover]]'' {{small|([[Victor L Schertzinger]]/[[Clifford Grey]])}}
*[[Ray Ellington|The Ray Ellington Quartet]] played ''The Baron, The Butler and The Bobbajee'' {{small|([[Jimmy Grafton]])}}
*[[Harry Secombe]] sang ''Be My Love'' {{small|([[Vincent Youmans]])}}
*Harry Secombe, Lizbeth Webb and the Stargazers performed ''[[Wunderbar]]'' {{small|([[Cole Porter]])}}

==Show Trivia==
*At the start of December, Harry, Peter and the Stargazers took part in a pantomime for servicemen recorded by Leslie Bridgmont for the Forces Broadcast Service at the Nuffield Centre, which led to The Goon Show Pantomime.
*The Goons’ own [[Boxing Day]] panto was then announced as ''Goonderella'' in [[The Stage]] on Thursday 6 December.
*[[Harry Secombe|Harry]] would be [[Buttons (pantomime)|Buttons]], [[Peter Sellers|Peter]] would play the Baron, [[Spike Milligan|Spike]] would team up with [[Graham Stark]] as the Ugly Sisters, and actress/singer [[Lizbeth Webb]] would be Cinderella herself.
*The festive show itself was a single plot spoofing the much-loved fairy tale, and allowed for a number of music spots including items for both Harry and Lizbeth. Peter played Baron Bloodnok and Splutmuscle, Graham was the prince, Michael was fairy godmother Captain Osric Pureheart, Peter and Spike were Pureheart’s assistants Flowerdew and Spalding, and Spike also voiced the prince’s elderly mother using the character of [[Henry Crun and Minnie Bannister|Miss Bannister]] whom he had developed in [[Bumblethorpe]]. [[Jimmy Grafton]] also contributed a parody of [[Johnny Mercer]]’s ''The Waiter, The Porter and the Upstairs Maid'' which was performed by Peter and Spike with the Ray Ellington Quartet.
*[[Max Geldray]] was given a few lines of dialogue… and demonstrated that acting was not one of his strengths!
*Promoting the Christmas special, the [[Radio Times]] claimed that ‘''there was a conspiracy by writers and cast to call their show Goonderella, but this was firmly resisted''’. The small article noted that it was now eight months since the Variety Department ‘''essayed a bold experiment […] There have been no regrets […] there is room on the air for at least one show of this kind'' - and three weeks after Cinderella, the “Goons” reappear in their new 1952 series.

==Technical==
A pre-recording was made of the show on [[The Goon Show recording numbers#DLO|DLO 1505]], then the main show was recorded on [[The Goon Show recording numbers#SLO|SLO 99928]] (33⅓ rpm, coarse-groove 16" disk recorded at [[Broadcasting House]]).<ref>{{Cite AV media notes |title=[[The Goon Show Compendiums#Vol13|The Goon Show Compendium Vol 13]] |first=Ted |last=Kendall | author-link=Ted Kendall |date=2017 |page=27|type=Booklet 2 |publisher=BBC Worldwide|ISBN=9781785298776}}</ref>
