Robin Hood is an episode from The Goon Show. It is the Christmas special in the seventh series. The show, being a special, also had two guests, Valentine Dyall and Dennis Price.
The recording for transmission (TLO 17360) was created at 7pm on Sunday 2 December 1956, at The Camden Theatre, Camden Town, London.
The show was not originally intended to be broadcast domestically, having been written specifically for Transcription Services use. As a result the first broadcast wasn't until it was aired on Radio 2 on Christmas Day, 32 years later, at 1pm on Sunday 25 December 1988. However, the show, along with Foiled by President Fred, had been released on a Parlophone LP (their fifth release of Goon Show LPs), First Men on the Goon , in October 1971.
Transcription Service Synopsis
Will the Sheriff of Nottingham capture Robin Hood? Who will win the archery contest? How does Robin escape from the dungeon dark, dank and donk? Will Robin's outlaws triumph over the soldiers of Prince John? Listen to the Christmas Goon Show, ‘Robin Hood’, and you may hear some of the answers.
Music
- The BBC Radio Orchestra was conducted by Wally Stott
- Max Geldray plays You're the Cream in My Coffee (Ray Henderson / Buddy G. DeSylva / Lew Brown)
- The Ray Ellington Quartet plays Three-Handed Woman (Ben Raleigh / Irv Taylor)
Technical
Originally recorded on TLO 17360 (15 ips ¼" tape recorded at Broadcasting House), later re-numbered to T6/l124-5 on 13 January 1965. This show survives more or less as recorded on these reels, and has been so transmitted domestically. For the version of the show included in Compendium 12, Kendall removed the gaffes and tidied up some of Dennis Price's lines. Also included on Compendium 12 was a retake from the show, unfortunately, the retake could not be cut satisfactorily into the body of the show, so Kendal went with what he thought was the best solution given the available material.[1]
