Wikipedia has an article about The Goon Show in which "The Last Goon Show of All" is mentioned. It advises:
The Last Goon Show of All (1972)
In 1972, the Goons reunited to perform The Last Goon Show of All for radio and television, before an invited audience that didn't, however, include long-time fan HRH The Prince of Wales, who was out of the country on duty with the Royal Navy at the time. (during the warm-up, announcer Andrew Timothy read a personal message from HRH Prince Charles, after which he added; "...and it's simply signed 'Charles'".) The show was broadcast on BBC television and radio, and eventually released in stereo, first as an LP on vinyl, and later on a CD. The television broadcast was also released on VHS and later on DVD, although there were some unfortunate omissions which detracted from at least one delayed punchline.
