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 38''''' (aka ''Harry Stars in His First Television Commercial'') is an episode from [[The Goon Show]]. It is the twenty-first show in the second series.

The show recording session was on Sunday, {{Date|1952-06-15}} at 9pm and was recorded at The [[Paris Theatre|Paris Cinema]], [[Regent Street|12 Lower Regent Street]], Central London.

The first British public broadcast was on the [[BBC Home Service|Home Service]] on Tuesday, {{Date|1952-06-17}} at 9.30pm (except Scotland and Northern Ireland). It reached a peak listenership of 2.2m.

The show's repeat was broadcast the following Thursday at 7.30pm, {{Date|1952-06-19}} on the [[BBC Light Programme|Light Programme]] to an audience of 4.7 million listeners.

==Sketches==
*After the [[Sound effect|sound effects]] [[Audio engineer|engineer]] leaves early, [[Harry Secombe|Harry]] explains to [[Andrew Timothy|Andrew]] about his first [[Television advertisement|television commercial]] in which he will be promoting O’Managhan’s [[Indian people|Indian]] [[Curry powder|Curry Powder]].
*''[[Lost Horizon|Lost Horizontal]]'' relates the story of [[Shangri-La]], discovered in [[1938]] by [[Major Bloodnok]], [[Harry Secombe|Harold Secombe]], [[List_of_The_Goon_Show_cast_members_and_characters#Singhiz_Thingz|Abdul]] and [[Eccles]] when they attempted to escape from Peking and were escorted to Television Set Mountain by [[Tibetan people|Tibetan]] peasants.

==Music==
*[[Max Geldray]] played ''[[Trust in Me (1937 song)|Trust in Me]]'' {{small|([[Ned Wever]]/[[Milton Ager]]/[[Jean Schwartz]])}}.
*[[Ray Ellington|The Ray Ellington Quartet]] ({{small|pays tribute to [[Vera Lynn]] with}}) ''[[I'll Be Seeing You (song)|I’ll Be Seeing You]]'' {{small|([[Irving Kahal]]/[[Sammy Fain]])}}.

==Show Trivia==
*From Monday 9 June, Peter and Max were on the bill at the Finsbury Empire, while Dennis was now producing another radio show; this was All Star Bill for which the scripts came from Jimmy Grafton and the music was performed by Robert Busby’s Revue Orchestra.
*[[Michael Bentine]] was taken ill and unable to attend the recording of The Goon Show on Sunday 15;
*Pureheart was omitted from several sections of the script at short notice, with the bulk of the programme – all except the opening Harry/Blatt item – being a spoof of the 1933 novel Lost Horizon which featured [[Major Bloodnok]] and [[Harry Secombe|Harold Secombe]] discovering the secret of eternal life in [[Shangri-La]]. This would form the basis of the episode [[Shangri-La Again]] in [[1955]]. When broadcast on Tuesday 17, this show was not taken by [[Scotland]] which instead scheduled ''Scotland Sings''.

==Technical==
Originally recorded on [[The Goon Show recording numbers#SLO|SLO 9638]]. (33⅓ rpm, coarse-groove 16" disk recorded at [[Broadcasting House]]).
