AN INTERPLANETARY FAIRY TALE


Performer: Peter Sellers

Writer: Kenneth Hare; Ron Goodwin
An Interplanetary Fairy Tale
Born in 1925 to a family of variety entertainers, Peter Sellers received attention as a member of the Entertainments National Service Association (ENSA) during the Second World War. In 1948, he became a regular BBC radio comedy performer, appearing with Ted Ray in Ray's a Laugh and, from 1951, alongside Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe and Michael Bentine in The Goon Show. Sellers found acclaim for his impersonations and satirical humour and began appearing in film, sometimes in voice acting roles.
Sellers first appeared on record in 1953 when he lent his voice to Parlophone's Jakka and the Flying Saucers, a science fiction play for children written by lyricist Ken Hare and composer Ron Goodwin. Though its producer George Martin ultimately considered the project a "complete disaster", he was impressed by Sellers' impersonations including Winston Churchill as the voice of God. After Martin was appointed head of Parlophone, he recorded with Sellers again on a distorted Goons version of "Unchained Melody". However, the cover was blocked from release by the song's publishers, leading the Goons to leave Parlophone for Decca.
