Before I looked them up though I tried getting a ‘Goonish’ Character name out of the 16A anagram and came up with ‘Mister Ninnibean’. After I checked it though I knew it would be impossible to guess them all right.

You missed out 24ac, ARGO(n) and consequently misnumbered 25ac as 24.

As I was (unfortunately) born in time to listen to the Goon Show WELL into my teens and beyond, most of this fell pretty comfortably into place. Some pretty cluing but nothing really taxing I felt. 7 was a bit of naughty fun!

It got easier when the theme became apparent. This was when it looked like 16 would be MINNIE BANNISTER. At most it rang a vague bell, but looking for it with Google made it all clear. I’d have known about the Goons many of whom went to even greater things, but less familiar with the characters. Very impressed at how much thematic material was packed in a pretty normal grid and, as always with Punk, the clues were very good.
