GREENSLADE: The Treasure in the Loch, part Mc two 
ORCHESTRA: Scottish-type link ending messily 
GRAMS: Bird calls , howling wind
MORIARTY: Sapristi freezing blue Mc sporrons! Three days we’ve stood waist-deep in this ice-bound Loch Lomond. What’s the idea, ay? 
GRYTPYPE: Don’t you like fishing, Moriarty? 
MORIARTY: Fishing? Oiawiawiywiuw type O! We haven’t any rods. How do you catch fish like this? 
GRYTPYPE: Well they’ve go to die sometime, we just wait until then 
MORIARTY: /By the great measurements of Sabrina,/ you must be of your nut! 
GRYTPYPE: Ssh! /Frog eater,/ look 
GRAMS - ECCLES: (off)  . . . Bow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow, doa doa doa, my love, wow wow wow wow wow, wow, ~~~~~~~~~~, wow wow wow wow . . .  
MORIARTY: [Over Eccles] It’s a ragged idiot wearing a dog collar 
GRYTPYPE: [Over Eccles] Quick, dive down and put out the fire. We don’t want to be spotted 
MORIARTY: [Over Eccles] Too late, I’ve already been spotted 
GRYTPYPE: [Over Eccles] How? 
MORIARTY: [Over Eccles] I had measles 
GRYTPYPE: [Over Eccles] Silence, heavily-oiled French joker. Observe yon dog-type man 
GRAMS: Splash 
MORIARTY: What’s he dived in for? 
GRYTPYPE: We’ll see when he surfaces 
GRAMS: Water bubbling 
MORIARTY: [Over Grams] Do you think he’s trapped on the bottom? 
GRYTPYPE: [Over Grams] No, he would’ve shouted for help 
GRAMS - ECCLES: Ow, be my love, bow  . . .  
GRYTPYPE: [Over Eccles] See what he’s got round his hind leg 
MORIARTY: [Over Eccles] Sapristi, a platinum chandelier with a diamond set of candlabra. Pass the telescope, now hold the jewellers glass on the end. Sapristi, those diamonds are genuine. After him, money moolah, ooooh, money money money ooooyooooyoooyoo . . .  
GRYTPYPE: Silence, reeking garlic wreck. There’s more diamonds where that comes from at the bottom of the loch 
MORIARTY: But neither of us can swim under water. How do we get down to it? 
GRYTPYPE: We’ll drain the loch. The question is, how? 
SEAGOON: Ahoy there, good fishermen. Are they biting today? 
MORIARTY: Yes, and I’ve been scratching them all night as well 
SEAGOON: Ah well, I must be on my way. It seems as though I must leave for Scotland for I, and take the open road 
ORCHESTRA: Snare drum accompanies Seagoon: 
SEAGOON: [Sings terribly:] 
I’ve got a great big rock for my pillow 
And tuft of grass for my bed. 
I sleep naked by the roadside 
It’s a wonder I'm not dead! 
Walking through the fields of corn, 
Leaning up against a rick of new mown hay. 
The open road, the open road, 
The open road, for meeeeeeeeee! [clears throat] 
GRYTPYPE: You raving idiot, you 
SEAGOON: Thank you. Have you been here long? 
GRYTPYPE: Three hundred years 
MORIARTY: [Whisper] What are you talking about, Grytpype? 
GRYTPYPE: [Whisper] Shut up, shut up. It’s the plan, my plan 
SEAGOON: You’ve been here three hundred years, ay? Ha, ha, they don’t give holidays like that anymore. Baaaaaaaaaaaaah! You’re three hundred years old! 
GRYTPYPE: Yes, it is a shock, I know. Let me explain, you see, my fast disintegrating friend and I have been keen drinkers of the loch waters. You see it has a sort of mysterious properties that rather prolong the lifespan 
SEAGOON: I don’t believe this longevity story 
GRYTPYPE: Is that so? See that mountain? That’s over two thousand years old 
SEAGOON: Really? 
GRYTPYPE: Yes, and it’s not full grown either 
SEAGOON: Proof positive [laughs] so that’s why it’s bald [laughs]. Well you can’t go against the word of a mountain, can you? Oooh dear, friend, what a lucky break. If I drink this lake water, I’m sure to live longer than my uncle Laird McGool and thereby inherit his treasures [laughs] 
GRYTPYPE: Is that so? Well we’ll help you, won’t we, Moriarty? Give Neddie a glass of the loch water 
MORIARTY: Here, one shilling 
FX: Cash register ding, then coin falling in 
MORIARTY: Thank you 
GRYTPYPE: Fiendish ~~~~, give the gentleman back that ha’penny in the silver paper. This glass of loch water is on the house 
SEAGOON: Thank you, here’s health [three gulps]. Ah, marvellous, I’ll outlive him! 
GRYTPYPE: Of course you will, Neddie. You've put ten years on your life 
MORIARTY: He’d put ten years on anybody’s life 
GRYTPYPE: Here, Neddie, here’s another 
SEAGOON: Thank you [gulps] 
GRYTPYPE: [Under gulps] Moriarty, this is the Charlie who’s going to drink Loch Lomond for us 
MORIARTY: Of course, then that would reveal the treasure at the bottom. Ohhyhooyhoo, money money money money oooooooo 
SEAGOON: Ah, lovely 
GRYTPYPE: Have another 
SEAGOON: [gulps] 
GRYTPYPE: And again, Neddie 
SEAGOON: [gulps] Thank you, I . . .  [gulps] 
GRYTPYPE: And more 
SEAGOON: [straining gulps] 
GRYTPYPE: Is the level of the loch going down? 
MORIARTY: No, this way it would take years 
GRYTPYPE: Yes. Ah, Neddie, lie down. Good. Now put this end of the hose in your mouth. Moriarty, put the other end in the lake 
MORIARTY: Right 
GRYTPYPE: Now, Neddie, suck away 
SEAGOON: [gulps] 
GRYTPYPE: [over gulps] Good boy, drink as much as you can. That’s it, it’s all free 
MORIARTY: [over gulps] It’s going down! Slowly, mark you, but it is going down 
GRYTPYPE: [over gulps] Yes 
GRAMS: Thunder rumble, rain 
MORIARTY: [over gulps and grams] Ooh, sapristi! What bad luck, it’s starting to rain 
GRYTPYPE: [over gulps] Drink faster, Neddie, faster 
SEAGOON: [gulps faster] 
GRYTPYPE: [over gulps] There’s a charabanc of, ah, pensioners arriving. Drink drink drink 
MORIARTY: [over gulps] That’s it, that’s it, drink ~~~ water ~~~ 
SEAGOON: [more gulps] 
MORIARTY: [over gulps] Quick, plug his ear, it’s leaking 
SEAGOON: Hah, it’s no good, I have to stop 
/MORIARTY: What for?/ 
SEAGOON: /Can’t you guess?/ I’m feeling faint 
MORIARTY: Faint? Here, have this glass of water 
SEAGOON: Thanks [gulps] 
GRYTPYPE: Now, Neddie, on with the drinking. You want to live longer, don’t you? 
SEAGOON: Oh, [gulps]. No more tonight, please. I must get a good night’s sleep! I promise I’ll come back tomorrow, needle nardle McNoo. I’ll be staying over in that old, red lodge. Goodnight 
MORIARTY: Sapristi, tomorrow’s too late! We must have that treasure tonight. Our plane leaves for Amsterdam at dawn 
GRYTPYPE: Let me think, I have it. The water for that old red lodge comes from the lake. Let’s go and turn all the taps on and fix ‘em so they can’t be turned off 
MORIARTY: Right 
GRYTPYPE: Wait! The water for that old red lodge comes from the lake. Let’s go and turn all the taps on and fix ‘em so they can’t be turned off 
MORIARTY: I heard you the first time 
GRYTPYPE: You don’t count, I’m only interested in the listeners. Ssh, Ray Ellington 
MORIARTY: Let’s hide 
GRYTPYPE: Yes

MINNIE: Plumber, Min 
FX: Door opens 
SEAGOON: Ah, dear landlord, I heard running water so I came running down. Good heavens, you’re flooded

FX: Thud with metal object 
BLUEBOTTLE:  . . . ~~~~~~, nit, uee. Who threw that porcelain-type sink at me? 
SEAGOON: I did. How dare you come through Mr. Crun’s water pipe without knocking? 
BLUEBOTTLE: I’m sorry, it was not my fault, Captain. Do you know that I was swimming in the lake with my first class swimmer’s badge pinned to my water wing, when suddenly, ploodgee! I was sucked up into the nasty water pipe. Then there was hours of darkness and writhing agony and finally, splunge, blat, I was squirted out into this bathtub here, but I was not afraid 
SEAGOON: Spoken like a man 
BLUEBOTTLE: Yes, I can do impressions, you know. Ooh, I have got a message for you. Major Bloodnok says he wants you all to start building him a boat 
SEAGOON: Why?

SEAGOON: Shut up! 
BLUEBOTTLE: Shut up! 
SEAGOON: All this water here must be returned to the lake. Form a bucket chain! 
BLUEBOTTLE: Can I help? 
SEAGOON: No, I must do this alone. A horse and bucket, horse and bucket 
BLUEBOTTLE & MINNIE: [with rhythm] They go together like a . . .  
SEAGOON: Shut up! Gid up, Dobbin, come on, Dobbin 
ECCLES: OK, neeeeeeiiiiigh! 
SEAGOON: Eccles, you’re not a horse, you’re a dog 
ECCLES: I know, but I do impressions 
SEAGOON: Right, gid up there, Dobbin come on, to the lake, Dobbin! 
ECCLES: OK [makes chicken noises] no that isn’t a horse. [Makes dog noises] No, that’s a dog. [Makes car noises] No, no, I’ll get it, I’ll get it 
SEAGOON: I can’t wait, I must save the lake. Out of my way! 
GRAMS: Horse galloping 
ORCHESTRA: Allegro, dramatic link 
GREENSLADE: So started that epic night of adventure. Back and forth went Seagoon with his bucket, trying to return the water. Meantime, back at the lake:

GREENSLADE: On the road to the lake: 
GRAMS: Galloping 
SEAGOON: The water’s going backwards and forwards! 
GREENSLADE: Meantime, in the middle of the lake: 
BLOODNOK: Help, heeeeelp! 
GREENSLADE: Back in the bathroom: 
FX: Hammering 
HENRY: We must stop it rising 
GREENSLADE: Back at the lake: 
MORIARTY: We must stop it rising 
GREENSLADE: Meantime in the steam baths in Edgewell Road: 
THROAT: Cor blimey! 
GREENSLADE: And in the cave Fred: 
GRAMS: Dance music sped up 
MORIARTY: You dance divinely 
GRYTPYPE: Yes, but the water’s reached flood level 
GREENSLADE: Back in the bathroom:

GREENSLADE: Meantime, back in the studio I was about to say meantime, back in the castle: 
McGOOL: [Talks with bagpipe music] You’ve been good to me, laddie. For the last eighteen years you’ve been salvaging the treasures of the sunken galleon 
ECCLES: Yeah, for the last eighteen years! 
McGOOL: [Talks with bagpipe music] Aye, and now we’ve got the lot, 20,000 pounds! 
ECCLES: 20,000 pounds, that money must be worth a fortune 
McGOOL: [Talks with bagpipe music] You know what it means to us both? 
ECCLES: No 
McGOOL: [Talks with bagpipe music] It means that I’m a rich man and you’re a far better swimmer 
GREENSLADE: Meantime, back in the bathroom [silence]. Meantime, back in the lake [silence]. Back on the road to the lake [silence]. Don’t some people get discouraged easily, goodnight 
ORCHESTRA: Ta-daa chord 
GREENSLADE: Thank you. And now Mr Adolphus Spriggs, with Rubin Croucher at the piano 
ORCHESTRA: Piano gives intro. Then accompanies Spriggs: 
SPRIGGS: [Sings "I’m Walking Backwards for Christmas:] 
I’m walking backwards for Christmas, 
Across the Irish Sea. 
I’m walking backwards for Christmas, 
It’s the only thing for me. 
I’ve tried walking sideways, 
And walking to the front. 
But people just look at me, 
And say it’s a publicity stunt. 
I’m walking backwards for Christmas, 
To prove that I love you! 
ORCHESTRA: End music: "Lucky Strike" 
GREENSLADE: That was The Goon Show, a BBC recorded programme featuring Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe and Spike Milligan, with the Ray Ellington Quartet and Max Geldray. The orchestra was conducted by Bruce Campbell, script by Spike Milligan, announcer Wallace Greenslade, the programme produced by Pat Dixon! 
ORCHESTRA: Music continues

Notes
*1) I believe that what Secombe says here is a sound joke on the word Lomond. Instead of "Come along" he transposes the sound of the word "Loch" onto the syllable "long" of "along" and hence gets, Come alonglomond. ... Loch Lomond is not generally pronounced with the final 'd'. It is spoken (and sung) as 
Loch Lomon. (Yukka Tukka Indians, Mar '04)

*2) Spanish treasure galleon Sanitary is pronounced San Itary, as a play on words (Spanish names typically starting San as in San Cristobal, or even San Fransisco). (Nautilus, Mar '04)
