			'''''The Rent Collectors''''' is an episode from [[The Goon Show]]. It is the sixteenth show in the seventh series and featured an unexpected guest, [[Bernard Miles]]..

			A pre-recording session took place Sunday afternoon {{Date\|1956-12-30}} at [[w:KOKO (music venue)\|The Camden Theatre]], Camden Town, London
			*Saturday {{Date\|1959-02-01}}, 5.45pm, [[Paris Theatre\|The Paris Cinema]] (TLO 20041/A – which featured a version of ''[[Sewers of the Strand]]'' which, ultimately, wasn't used in in the finished programme). The recording for transmission was created the same day and at the same venue at 9pm {{Date\|1958-12-14}} (TLO 20042).

	{{~~goons~~}}		The first [[w:BBC Home Service\|Home Service]] broadcast was almost three weeks later at 8.30pm {{Date\|1957-01-17}}, its ratings were 2.3 million.

			The show was repeated twice more:
			*Monday 8pm, {{Date\|1957-01-21}}, on the [[w:BBC Light Programme\|Light Programme]] to 3.6 million listeners.
			*Saturday 9.30pm, {{Date\|1992-04-25}} on [[w:BBC Radio 2\|Radio 2]] in ''Comedy Hour: the Radio 2 Comedy Season''.

			== Transcription Service Synopsis ==
			Conned into taking a job as a rent collector, [[Neddie Seagoon]] goes to the address he has been given – Death Grange, Slaughter Hill. On his way there he falls into the canal, he's imprisoned for violating By-law 37, and sentenced to hang. Neddie, reasonably enough, appeals against the sentence and is allowed to put his case to the local [[w:Squire\|Squire]] – none other than the owner of Death Grange and just the man he wants to see. And rightly so, for the Squire has the solution to Neddie's problem.

			==Music==
			*The BBC Radio Orchestra was conducted by [[Wally Stott]]
			*[[Max Geldray]] plays ''[[w:Lulu's Back in Town\|Lulu's Back in Town]]'' {{small\|([[w:Al Dubin\|Al Dubin]] (lyrics) / [[w:Harry Warren\|Harry Warren]] (music))}}
			*[[Ray Ellington\|The Ray Ellington Quartet]] plays ''Old Mother Hubbard'' {{small\|Babe Wallis / [[Ray Ellington]])}}

			==Technical==
			Originally recorded on [[The Goon Show recording numbers#TLO\|TLO 20042]] (15 ips ¼" tape recorded at [[w:Broadcasting House\|Broadcasting House]]). This tape survived in [[BBC Transcription Services\|TS]], and was cut for the [[Pick of the Goons\|POTG]] issue. Fortunately, the cuts were kept and restored in 1990, and the tape was used for the version of the show included on [[The Goon Show Compendiums#Vol6\|The Goon Show Compendium Vol 6]].<ref>{{Cite AV media notes \|title=[[The Goon Show Compendiums#Vol6\|The Goon Show Compendium Vol 6]] \|first=Ted \|last=Kendall \| author-link=Ted Kendall \|date=2012 \|page=13\|type=Booklet 2 \|publisher=BBC Worldwide\|ISBN=978-1408-468548}}</ref>

			==Notes==
			*The show featured an unexpected guest appearance from character actor [[Bernard Miles]], the driving force behind the [[w:Mermaid Theatre\|Mermaid Theatre]] and a devotee of the Goons. Next day, [[Pat Dixon]] wrote to the contracts department about this additional cast member – who had been prepared to perform for free but had accepted a nominal fee of [[w:£sd\|₤5.5.0]] – commenting that circumstances had arisen ‘''which made it desirable that Bernard Miles, who happened to be in the studio, should take part… I thought it best in view of the keenness of the cost that he should participate on this occasion.''’
			*''The Rent Collectors'' was also notable for the first appearance of [[List of The Goon Show cast members and characters#Little Jim\|Little Jim]], a new character played by Spike created solely to speak a contrived, meaningless catchphrase: ‘''He's fallen in the water''’. Indeed, Spike had delivered this line as an ad-libbed aside after [[Max Geldray]]'s number in the recording of ''[[Wings Over Dagenham]]''.
