| Synopsis: | Sir Harry Secombe and Spike Milligan first met during WW2. From that meeting grew a friendship that gave birth to the Goons - an act that changed the face of British comedy and influenced all that followed it, from Monty Python to Eddie Izzard. Over time Harry became the 'Goon Bandage', and the Goon he bandaged the most was Spike. During Spike's many bouts of manic depression, Harry came with the grapes and the sympathy and even paid some of his hospital bills. But what was it like to be the sane one, surrounded by the madness, the megalomania and the chaos? Did Harry really keep laughing through it all? | |||||
