This show was recorded at The Camden Theatre, in North London, the same location as hosted many of the original BBC radio Goon Shows in the 1950s
I love The Goons, but this "Last Goon Show Of All" is one of the least funny ever recorded, IMO.

Then he sent the Prince of Wales a telegram saying "I suppose knighthood is out of the question." Spike ended up getting his knighthood, as the Prince was a big fan.

The whole thing about the queen...and saying that Harry Secombe will fill in for her is funny enough, but to do it IN FRONT OF THE QUEEN is just brilliant

I could be wrong but I believe he was dead by the time this was recorded.
Wallace Greenslade (who was the announcer for the majority of the series) was definately dead, hence Andrew Timothy's appearance.

@jkarani - Bentine died 22 years after this was recorded. At the time he was working on what would be 'Potty Time'. He is mentioned in this show as having "big parts" and "no room for the inside leg".
