Can only got a minor victory on my Know British Culture, but they are characters from The Goon Show a popular BBC radio comedy show of the 60s(?) with Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe, uh and I think somebody else who I forget.

Some say they were a significant influence on the Monty Python team.

Somebody else can fill in the blanks, I'm sure.
