Ah but the ghost of Empire endures. Here in the far-flung colonies, our very own 'Aunty' - the ABC - broadcasts the Goons every Saturday lunchtime on Radio National, just before the Science show. Its been doing it for over 40 years.... I still have to ask my father-in-law (a Yorkshireman) to occasionally assist in translation.
