Been a couple of years in the making, very happy it’s almost out there. 7th Dec Sky Arts. ❤️ Documentary opens up Spike Milligan’s ‘treasure trove’ of scripts and footage | Spike Milligan | The Guardian theguardian.com/culture/2022…

Wonderful snap by @elliemorris of the cast of @SpikeThePlay enjoying the last performance of @MCabournSmith as Janet , the spot effects operator @New_Theatre. Margaret always brought the house down…not a bad way to start a play!

Well, what a great show @SpikeThePlay was. Awesome performances all round. Including the incredible @Mack_JEM. I sincerely hope this piece gets a revival next year. Deserves to be seen in West End #SpikeMilligan #Goons

A packed @New_Theatre welcomed the first showing of Paul Hart’s @SpikeThePlay Tuesday starring @robertwilfort. Taking the audience through the ascent of the 1950s radio hit The Goon Show, the play covers all the successes and troubles it faced.

REVIEW @SpikeThePlay @New_Theatre for @GetTheChance4U ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “SPIKE is an eccentric celebration of a man who, even after a lifetime of making the world laugh, was still gone too Goon”. Moving & hilarious 🎺 Make sure to catch it before it’s Goon forever! getthechance.wales/2022/11/2…
