[78-L] A silent Goons record?

[David Lennick]

If those programs haven't been reissued in any of the BBC's box sets, they're 
worth having if only because they likely contain dialogue that didn't survive 
the various reissues for the International Service. Political correctness, 
outdated or local references kept creeping in over the years, with the programs 
getting shorter and shorter. As for fiscal value, not many people can play 
those things.
