 When Spike Milligan visited his parents in Woy Woy in 1958, the Australian Broadcasting Commission signed him for a series of radio comedy broadcasts.They hoped for a local equivalent of "The Goon Show" with an Australian slant to it, but without Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe.The format was very similar to "The Goon Show", with Milligan recycling or adapting scripts and jokes for the new show.
