BLUEBOTTLE: Oooh, it's Moriarty! You've gone bald. What is that lump on your nut?
MORIARTY: That is the difference between margarine.

This show was produced to celebrate the BBC's 50th anniversary and was broadcast live on radio on 5 October 1972. It was subsequently released on VHS...

Some other notable bits of dialogue:

TIMOTHY: Ladies and gentlemen, we have had a large number of telegrams wishing us, believe it or not, good luck...and heaven only knows we need it. There is only time to recall one of them, and may I read it to you. It is addressed, of course, to the Goons and the message is as follows . . . 'One of your most devoted fans is enraged at the knowledge he is missing your last performance. Last night my hair fell out and my knees dropped off having turned green with envy at the thought of my father and sister attending the show. One day, perhaps, you will find time to give a performance to a shipful of Seagoons. My very best wishes, as always, signed ... (Prince) Charles'.

FX: Nuts, bolts, hitting the floor.
SECOMBE: What was that?
HENRY CRUN: Mnk...Min falling to bits ...She's a loose woman you know...
SECOMBE: Quick, throw a bucket of water over her before the season starts ... And now, ladies and gentlemen, my husband and I have great pleasure in starting Goon Show number 161!
GRAMS: (Sound of sluggish engine turning over unsuccessfully.)
SECOMBE: Oh, my husband and I have great pleasure in starting this Goon Show number 161.
GRAMS: (Sound of dodgy engine failing again to start.)
SECOMBE: My husband and I are having great difficulty in starting Goon Show number 161.

SELLERS: (strange Michael Caine voice) 'Ello,'ello,'ello,'ello,'ello.
SECOMBE: Ah! A constable of Old England played by an ageing Peter Sellers.
SELLERS: I'm sorry sir, you cannot park that huge bloated Welsh body there.
SECOMBE: Watch it, Rozzer.
SELLERS: I 'ave been watchin' it, sir, and it gives me no pleasure ... there's not many people know that. What is your name sir?
SECOMBE: Harry Secombe.
SELLERS: What a splendid memory you've got, sir. Now then sir, would you like to explain as to why you are wearin' a flowered creton frock?
SECOMBE: Explain?
SELLERS: Yes.
SECOMBE: Haven't you read the court circular?
SELLERS: No, I'm waitin' till they make the film of the book the sketch of the script of the play.
SECOMBE: Now listen, constable.
SELLERS: Yes.
SECOMBE: I am dressed like this because I have been asked to represent Her Majesty the Queen.
SELLERS: Oh, I'm sorry, Your Queen. My refund ferpologies
SECOMBE: It's too late for that.
SELLERS: lt's only alf past five.
SECOMBE: We're having difficulty starting this Goon Show.
SELLERS: Well, let's have a look in the tonk, then. Tonk? Ah, I see you've still got the same typist you 'ad in 1953 ...

GRAMS: (Gunfire.)
MILLIGAN: (Indian accent) Pardon me, sir.
BLOODNOK: What is it, Private Parts? It is Private Parts, isn't it?
MILLIGAN: No sir, I am Singhiz Thing.
BLOODNOK: Singhiz Thing? I remember you very well, yes. What do you want?
MILLIGAN: It's time for your perversion, sir.
BLOODNOK: My perversion? Good! Good, let's start now...
GRAMS: (Wailing, groaning, whipping, straining, operatics, crashing,
tinkling, thumping, ecstasy). [Continues over Bloodnok]
BLOODNOK: Ah! Oh! I love a bit of Wagner. Now the whips! Yes! Yes! Oh! Ah! Let me have the strot flicker now, I like that. Oh! Yes! Ah! Now the steering wheel club followed by the...oh! Is it all over? What about the starters? Now then, this uniform goes back to Moss Bros tomorrow.
MILLIGAN: Yes, sir. There is a deposit on it.
BLOODNOK: Oh, that'll brush off

Oh, such memories...
