John Bluthal as Dr Jacob Bronowski - brilliant! I have loved the Goons since the 1950's and Spike Milligna , well known typing error, his genius from the goons to the Q series. Genius. THanks to KZfaq and the contributors for keeping the humour alive.

@@nethy02 I'll go with Rab C Nesbitt (you forgot the 'C' . . . criminal). It's a fair bet that you're a Lady, a woman if you will. If wrong, then apology is due but if not, Milligan's humour tickled the male sense of humour, anarchic, surreal and occupied the borderline between sanity and madness. Pushing 80 and I've yet to meet a single woman who found him funny.
