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 36''''' (aka ''Harry Delays His Story'') is an episode from [[The Goon Show]]. It is the nineteenth show in the second series.

The show recording session was on Sunday, {{Date|1952-06-01}} at 9pm and was recorded at The [[Playhouse Theatre#BBC studios|Playhouse Theatre]], [[Northumberland Avenue]], Central London.

The first British public broadcast was on the [[BBC Home Service|Home Service]] on Tuesday, {{Date|1952-06-03}} at 9.30pm (except Northern Ireland). It reached a peak listenership of 2.2m.

The show's repeat was broadcast the following Thursday at 7.30pm, {{Date|1952-06-05}} on the [[BBC Light Programme|Light Programme]] to an audience of 4.7 million listeners.

==Show Trivia==
*Since the Dance Orchestra was on leave on Sunday 1 June, [[Dennis Main Wilson|Main Wilson]] had arranged for the music to be provided by Robert Busby’s Revue Orchestra instead,
*Jack Jordan was now contributing incidental music for the shows.
*This script mixed the format a little with the opening cross-talk between Harry and Andrew setting up a sketch for later in the programme. The robbery of a mail van in London’s Eastcastle Street on Wednesday 21 May had inspired a Pureheart adventure involving Special Branch, and Dr [[Henry Crun and Minnie Bannister|Henry Crun]] now graduated to the lead character of the show’s closing sketch – the first of a two-part trip up the Amazon.
*[[Ray Ellington|The Ray Ellington Quartet]] embarked upon a three-month tour of the UK for [[Mecca Leisure Group|Mecca]] starting on Monday 2 June which meant that they would have to fly back for some recordings from venues such as [[Glasgow]] and [[Belfast]].

==Technical==
