The Goon Show - History of communications

In this episode, the plot humorously traces the development of communication methods throughout history. It starts with primitive methods like talking and shouting, then moves on to more advanced techniques such as messages being transmitted by runners. The episode also includes a sketch about the Siege of Khartoum, where Mr. Crun leads a relief force to aid Major Bloodnok and his men against the Mardi in Sudan of the 1800s.
