Win tickets and dvds to coincide with the Goons at BFI Southbank.







We've teamed up with the BFI to offer readers this chance to win a pair of tickets to see two important early Peter Sellers appearances rescued from obscurity, reconstructed as completely as possible, and now returned to the big screen in new BFI National Archive restorations. Both films provide a valued insight into British comedy history and, specifically, chart the beginnings of Sellers' rise to stardom.



Penny Points to Paradise - Mon 27 Jul 18:20 NFT1

Penny Points to Paradise sees all the Goons beside the seaside in a cheap and cheerful comic escapade climaxing in a Brighton waxworks.



Followed by:



Let's Go Crazy - Mon 27 Jul 18:20 NFT1

Let's Go Crazy, shot around the same time, is a ramshackle but entertaining selection of variety turns, with memorable performances from Spike Milligan and particularly Sellers, playing multiple roles, from Guiseppe, a waiter exasperated by demands for 'boiled beef and carrots', to an anarchic mock-Groucho Marx.
