His books were brilliant (most of them - some cr@p in there too)

If you've got access to DAB radio the Goon Shows are broadcast on Radio 4plus. Still as fresh as ever and easily 30 years ahead of it's time. Don't think Milligan was ever the same after that - he put everything into those. Almost cost him his life in the end.
