The Story of Slapstick charts the history of the world's most popular comedy genre. Whether you're three or fifty three we all seem to love physical humour. It doesn't matter if they're slapped, banged or walloped, there's a simple glee in the misfortune of others. In this audio clip we are presented with the absurdity of The Goon Show. The Goons were Michael Bentine, Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers and Harry Seacombe and as well as pioneering the use of surreal humour, puns and catchphrases they used an array of bizarre sound effects to convey a world where slapstick could exist even when it was unseen.
