Greenslade did don Lincoln Green and did assiste ye outlaws in their recklesse adventures."
(Radio Times listing for 'Ye Bandit of Sherwood Forest', December 1954)
This week Tyler and guest Chas Early look at the Robin Hood-themed episodes of The Goon Show - Ye Bandit of Sherwood Forest from Series 5 and the special from 1956, Robin Hood, as well as some brief chat about the earlier Christmas Pantomime of Robin Hood from Series 3 which only exists now in script form.
All three shows share some similar dialogues and scenes and each featured special guests: Charlotte Mitchell in Ye Bandit; Dennis Price and Valentine Dyall in the 1956 Robin Hood; and Dick Emery & Carole Carr back in 1952.
There's a lot to unpick so splug yourself on a gillikin spike and tune in!
