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 29''''' (aka ''Harry Secombe: Secret Agent'') is an episode from [[The Goon Show]]. It is the twelfth show in the second series.

The show recording session was on Sunday, {{Date|1952-04-13}} at 9pm and was 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|1952-04-15}} at 9.30pm (except Midlands and Northern Ireland). It reached a peak listenership of 2.2m.

The show's repeat was broadcast the following Thursday at 7.30pm, {{Date|1952-04-17}} on the [[BBC Light Programme|Light Programme]] to an audience of 4.7 million listeners.

==Sketches==
*''Harry Secombe: Secret Agent'': Has Harry telling [[Andrew Timothy]] how he was asked to take atomic secrets to Nosdrovia.
*''Bloodnok fights the Mad Mullah (rehash)'' In which Andrew Timothy promises the final encounter between Bloodnok and his [[North West Frontier]] enemy;
*''Goon focus on other programmes'': Covers shows such as [[G-Men]], ''We Beg to Suffer'' and cricket commentary.
*''Pureheart builds a Satellite town'': Finds Captain Osric Pureheart approach the [[House of Commons]] with a speedier method of building houses.

==Music==
*[[Max Geldray]] performed ''Bubble, Bubble, Bubble (Pink Champagne)'' {{small|([[Robert Wright (musical writer)|Robert Wright]]/[[George Forrest (author)|George Forrest]])}}.
*[[Ray Ellington|The Ray Ellington Quartet]] ({{small|pays tribute to [[Nellie Lutcher]] with}}) ''[[My Mother’s Eyes]]'' {{small|([[Abel Baer]]/[[Wolfe Gilbert]])}} and ''[[Hurry on Down (Nellie Lutcher song)|Hurry On Down]]'' {{small|([[Nellie Lutcher]])}}.
*The Goons sing the ''‘Parody Number’''.

==Show Trivia==
In this show the pre-recording of Harry’s number was abandoned, as was his solo spot. Max’s number was moved up to follow Harry’s opening escapade (which now tended to drop the Handsome Harry Secombe announcement although it retained the theme) and instead the ‘gimmick’ spot tended to conclude with a parody song assembled by [[Jimmy Grafton]]. Bloodnok faced the Mad Mullah again and Splutmuscle returned as one of Pureheart’s assistants.

==Technical==
Originally recorded on [[The Goon Show recording numbers#SLO|SLO 6306]]. (33⅓ rpm, coarse-groove 16" disk recorded at [[Broadcasting House]]).
