MY sense of humour is in mourning. Dear Spike is - no more. My much beloved late father and I shared Spike's off-beat humour and years of happy "sitting round the radio together" in the 50s has just flashed through my sentimental mind.

A collection of Goon show tapes, Spike's war memories and poetry will pull me through, but I shall miss him.
