American Reacts to The Two Ronnies Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town pt 1
I react to the television serial from the Two Ronnies that was originally on BBC as a serial, The Phantom Blower of Old London Town. Originally shown in 1976 the serial was co-written by Gerald Wiley, the pseudonym for Ronnie Barker. he story was originally conceived as a TV special for Peter Sellers, Harry Seacombe, and Spike Milligan, to be produced by Peter Eton, their old Goon Show producer. Plans for the project were cancelled due to Peter Sellers' Hollywood commitments. The Phantom finally saw the light of day in an episode of Six Dates with Barker, broadcast on 15 January 1971, with Alan Curtis playing the role of the Phantom.

This serial was written by Spike Milligan and a Gentleman. The Gentleman being none other than a certain Gerald Wiley with authentic raspberries blown by none other than Del Boy himself - David Jason. It's a shame that due to copyright it's hard to come by full episodes. The format barely changed in 16 years. Each episode has spoof news items from the newsdesk, sketches with both of them, a weekly continuing serial ( a new story every series) a guest singer, a solo sketch from Ronnie B normally using his mastery of word play, an armchair monologue from Ronnie C that was a deliberately corny shaggy dog story that got it's humour from RC constantly going off from his story in distractingly wild tangents, an elaborate musical finale ( often with the two of them in drag ) and each show finishing back at the newsdesk. It was a format that worked, and it worked for 16 years with it only stopping when Ronnie B decided to retire. Pure Magic!!!

They always did a multipart serial in all their series, 5 minutes or so each week. There was the detective duo Piggy Malone & Charley Farley, there was a Pride and Prejudice based one and of course The Worm That Turned which was an alternative reality one where all the men wore the skirts and the women were the ones in charge of everything. Of those I remember.

Classic Spike Miligan silliness, performed brilliantly by 2 greats. Spike Milligan was a legend. A master of twisted logic, word play and pure silliness. Even if you wasn't told it was written by him, if you knew his work, it would have become obvious very quickly. No-one did silly like Spike. The Phantom Raspberry Blower is a perfect example of his work and was performed brilliantly by two of the UK's greatest comedy geniuses. :)

Spike Milligan wrote and appeared in the wacky radio comedy 'The Goon Show' in the 50s and 60s along with Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe. This was a great influence on the 'Monty Python's Flying Circus' team in the 70s, and many other later comedians. Spike Milligan had his own comedy TV series ('Q') for many years. He was also a poet, a musician and a writer. Milligan's six part WW2 memoir 'trilogy'(!) is perhaps one of the best of its kind ever written.

Spike Milligan was the major writer for 'The Goon Show' a variety-style comedy radio series with a story like this, musical interludes and usually some familiar characters. Some Goon Shows had names like 'The Dreaded Batter-pudding hurler of Bexhill-on-Sea', or 'The Scarlet Capsule' which was itself a spoof of a Quatermass SF serial called 'Quatermass and the Pit'.

There's a lot of Spike Milligan in this, you should watch some of his stuff if you think this is random. Spike was originally one of The Goons along with Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe and Michael Bentine. Peter Sellers, obviously, went on to have a great film career, Michael Bentine went into comedic children's programmes and Harry Secombe became a regular on UK TV screens, either singing or in religious shows. Spike Milligan had some great series, the Monty Python guys said The Goon Show was among their main influences, especially Spike. He's actually in Life of Brian because he just happened to be in the country when they were filming, he buggered off before they could use him more though.

Spike Milligan was one of the Goons and their radio show in the 1950's was totally different to any of the conventional comedy series of that era. The Goons was the inspiration for the later Monty Python TV Series. My favourite Spike Milligan sketch was 'What time is it Eccles?' which is so surreal. It might be something different for you to react to.
