A 'Goon' version of a television newsreel, with the famous radio comics bringing their particular brand of surreal mayhem
to the small-screen. The programme publicity announced, in true Goon style, that the show was 'devised, presented, directed
and produced by Mr Claude Boote assisted by Michael Mills'.
There had been a previous plan to bring the Goons' humour to the small-screen, with a
show titled Trial Gallop, scheduled to air on 13 February 1952. But it was cancelled owing to the death of King George
VI.
