Eric Sykes co-wrote 24 episodes of the Goon Show with Spike Milligan.Whether the rest of the British public was ready for this new brand of humour is questionable, but that first series, co-written with Larry Stephens, was a hit and miss affair without any real structure. However, it sufficiently impressed BBC bosses enough for them to order a second series with a single plot format and a new title - The Goon Show.At the end of this second series Michael Bentine decided to go solo and Milligan continued to collaborate with Stephens and they were now joined by Jimmy Grafton and Eric Sykes. This trio took over the scriptwriting chores for a while when Milligan suffered a nervous breakdown during series three. Various forms of depression were to dog Milligan throughout his life, a legacy of the shellshock he had suffered during the war. On his return to work Milligan became sole scriptwriter for The Goon Show writing at a rate of around 26 shows a year.
