Henry Crun and Minnie Bannister

Henry Crun and Minnie Bannister are two characters from the 1950s United Kingdom radio comedy series The Goon Show.

[1] They are both elderly and often play significant roles in the story, frequently in occupations for which they seem ill-suited, such as the crew of a lifeboat, lighthouse keepers, Head of MI5, or the staff of the East Acton Volunteer Auxiliary Civilian Fire Brigade.

"Modern Min" is a fan of modern, sinful dancing and music and her music drives Henry wild, whether playing Paganini on the soup spoon while stirring soup with a violin, flirting with George Chisholm's trombone or performing on the saxophone.

[2] In the episode "The Evils of Bushy Spon" he manages to confront Bloodnok by appearing on a gramophone record.

Jef Raskin once ran a technical-writing firm called Bannister & Crun, which produced manuals for computers and software which eventually became the Publications Department at Apple.
