Crazy People, the first programme of what became The Goon Show, aired on 28 May 1951. The stars - Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe and Michael Bentine - were billed in the Radio Times as "Radio's own Crazy Gang 'The Goons'". Producer Dennis Main Wilson wrote "the series is based upon a crazy type of fun evolved by four of our younger laughter-makers". As it developed, The Goon Show became an enduring hit that stretched the boundaries of radio comedy in new and influential directions.
