While there were other members of The Goons and guest appearances, the 2 main members, besides Spike Milligan, were Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers.
Michael Bentine was the final member, a comedian with a sense of humour similar to Milligan, but he has now been mostly forgotten. There is a pub in London near where I used to work with a plaque for the Goons, as they wrote their first scripts in a room above the pub.

The Goons were a major influence on Monty Python, and Milligan has a cameo in Life of Brian.
