Katy Secombe

Goon Pod

This week Tyler is joined by the delightful Katy Secombe, who talks warmly about her dad Harry and reveals what it was like growing up as the daughter of a Goon.

They discuss Harry's career and family life: how he met Katy's mum Myra under rather inauspicious circumstances; his alter-ego Neddie Seagoon; health issues in the 1980s; his relationship with the other Goons and various leading figures of British light entertainment; his general disapproval of boyfriends; female admirers; occasional 'darker' roles and much more!

What comes across is a portrait of a man blessed with an incredible talent but also given of tremendous warmth and generosity of spirit.
