The Missing Battleship is an episode from The Goon Show. It is the second show in the eighth series. It was recorded Sunday 6 October 1957, and broadcast on Monday 7 October 1957.
The Vintage Goons first episode, The Mummified Priest, was recorded the same day as this show.
Story
"The time is 8.30 and here is the Nine O'clock News. The Ministry of Housing has granted permission to turn the Albert Memorial into flats, and a piece of junk has been stolen from the official Bank of England safe."
In the cellars beneath the House of Commons two masked men wearing leather wigs have tampered with the Bank's official wooden safe. Yes, Grytpype-Thynne and Moriarty are up to their old tricks. Only junk millonaire Neddie can stop them cornering the world market in junk. He knows his rights (and his lefts). And Eccles and Bluebottle are also on hand (or are they on foot?)
Music
- The BBC Orchestera was conducted by Wally Stott.
- Max Geldray plays It's Only a Paper Moon (Harold Arlen (music), Yip Harburg and Billy Rose (lyrics))
- The Ray Ellington Quartet plays Don't Burn Me Up.
