Transcription Service Synopsis
Neddie Seagoon is persuaded to buy a ₤10,000 life insurance. With the policy comes an interesting little booklet entitled ‘One hundred easy ways to get deceased’. You can be quite sure that Moriarty and Grytpype-Thynne have something to do with the plot and, quite frankly, we don't think much of Neddie's chances.
Music
- The BBC Orchestera was conducted by Wally Stott.
- Max Geldray plays Button Up Your Overcoat (Ray Henderson / Buddy G. DeSylva / Lew Brown)
- The Ray Ellington Quartet plays You'd Better Know It (Duke Ellington / Peter Strayhorn).
Technical
Originally recorded on TLO 42750 (15 ips ¼" tape recorded at Broadcasting House). The TLO 42750 master tape no longer exists, so the show included in The Goon Show Compendium Vol 8 was compiled from the TGS disc, the POTG master tape and a domestic recording of the original transmission.[1]
