Press clippings

Spike Milligan's Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town (that fills up a line or two) for Ronnie Barker (LWT) was unmistakable, maniacal Milligan. One line was "We must act fast," "I'm acting as fast as I can," which brings me to my moral. I think actors, even when speeded up with silent film technique, are too pedestrian for the pace of Goon comedy. Sight is too slow.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 16th January 1971
