The first Goon Show (originally titled 'Crazy People') was broadcast on the BBC Home Service on this day (28 May) in 1951 - that's 75 years for those who can't be bothered counting. Comedy would never be the same. #NationalGoonShowDay

I despair of my country. I despair of my species. But I look up, and in silent beauty the moon is chasing the stars across the night sky.
