It's probably a little wider-known over here, but not much. Very few of my
friends have heard of the Goons, although ISIRTA and Round the Horne are better

"I've... got it written on this piece of paper..."

I'll probably run out of Goons quotes very rapidly, since I've only heard about
half a dozen episodes... I'm not nearly old enough to be a first-generation
Python quoter, let alone the Goons - even my parents aren't quite old enough
for that!
