A certain Welshman here and I are devotees of the wildly popular 1950s BBC Radio program The Goon Show, with Peter Sellers in that cast. Now comes the electrifying news that two of the first films Sellers appeared in after that series have finally surfaced and are being restored.

Bert, this news is for you....

WTF?

I heard of "Dearth of a Salesman". But "Insomnia Is Good for You" is completely new to me! Thanks for the hat tip. I only wish my dad was still here to see them. This is awesome. :smile:
