I once had the privelege of having lunch with Spike Milligan.......one of my fondest memories........not only is he funny, he is also charming and kind.And actually Bert, Spike will tell you, and it's well documented, that the genius of the Goon Show was a combined effort, at least to begin with and both Sellars and Secombe had invented the voices and the characters long before they met him.That's what made it so inspired, they were all quite mad.
