The series 2 shows didn't have 'official' episode names ''per se'', but for ease of reference using the show number and ''Handsome Harry'' sketch name is to differentiate them.

The show had now changed its name from ''Crazy People'' to "'''''[[The Goon Show]], featuring those crazy people…'''''"

'''''Show 28''''' (aka ''Handsome Harry is Taken Prisoner in the Army by the British'') is an episode from [[The Goon Show]]. It is the eleventh show in the second series.

Harry Secombe's musical section was recorded separately from the main show session at 6pm on Sunday, {{Date|1952-04-06}} (SLO 5684a). The main show recording session commenced later that Sunday, {{Date|1952-04-06}} at 9pm. Both recording sessions were recorded at [[Aeolian Hall (London)|Aeolian I]], 135–137 [[Bond Street|New Bond Street]], London.

The first British public broadcast was on the [[BBC Home Service|Home Service]] on Tuesday, {{Date|1952-04-08}} at 9.30pm (except Northern Ireland). It reached a peak listenership of 1.8m.

The show's repeat was broadcast the following Thursday at 7.30pm, {{Date|1952-04-10}} on the [[BBC Light Programme|Light Programme]] to an audience of 5.1 million listeners.

==Sketches==
*''Handsome Harry is Taken Prisoner in the Army by the British'' in which Harry recalls what happened in the last war when he was a Colonel of Intelligence in the [[Western Desert]].
*''Pureheart’s excavations at [[Pompeii]] (unearths the Roman Villa)'' features Pureheart telling Andrew Timothy of his great achievement in Italy.
*''Wacklow & Crun censor a show'': Sees Crun scrutinising a Goons love scene between [[Michael Bentine|Bentine]] and Clara Wilmington.
*‘Colonel Slocombe and the Southern Army’ tells the tale of how Colonel Josh Slocombe joined the Civil War conflict.

==Music==
*[[Harry Secombe]] sang ''[[With a Song in My Heart (song)|With a Song in My Heart]]'' {{small|([[Lorenz Hart]]/[[Richard Rodgers]])}}.
*[[Max Geldray]] performed ''[[Saint Louis Blues]]'' {{small|([[W. C. Handy|WC Handy]])}}.
*[[Ray Ellington|The Ray Ellington Quartet]] ({{small|pays tribute to [[Eddie Cantor]] with}}) ''[[If You Knew Susie]]'' {{small|([[Buddy De Sylva|BG De Sylva]]/[[Joseph Meyer]])}}.

==Show Trivia==
The start of the show had Andrew Timothy's announcement ‘''Without Spike Milligan who is away with influenza,''’ Spike’s various roles, such as Eccles and an upper class officer, were divided out amongst the cast for the recording, and the Pureheart sketch had a rare appearance of Sir Harold Porridge while Clara Wilmington (Harry) reappeared in a sketch where Crun acted as a critic for a love scene. Colonel Slocombe was also back, complete with his own theme, in place of the closing Bloodnok item.

==Technical==
Originally recorded on [[The Goon Show recording numbers#SLO|SLO 5684]] (Secombe's pre-recording session on SLO 5684a). (33⅓ rpm, coarse-groove 16" disk recorded at [[Broadcasting House]]).
