Welcome to the Goon Show Depository's very own Wiki.

The main purpose of this wiki is to document as much about The Goon Show as is possible.

Generally speaking that is close to impossible for one person to achieve. Initially it was my intention to allow anyone to edit the wiki. However a couple of incidents occurred to change my mind. As a result I've closed off user account creation and anonymous no-account editing. However, should someone really, really want to edit/correct/create then please contact me, either on my talk page or via email (kurt@thegoonshow.co.uk) and I can create an account for you.

The wiki's secondary purpose is to also document classic British radio comedy (with some TV shows and films thrown in for good measure) from, roughly, the 40s to the 90s.

There is still very much work to do.

Other British Radio Comedy…


Plus many more...

  • Please note: Any blue links that refer to people, events, films, radio shows, TV shows etc that don't relate directly to classic broadcast British comedy (up to roughly 2000) are redirects that will take you to the relevant English language Wikipedia article.
  • The same is also true for any people who are still alive. The reason for the latter being that there aren't enough hours in the day for one person to keep those articles up to date. It's also to prevent legal liability for things like any possible defamatory statements.
