			*At the start of December, the strain became too much for Spike. He was exhausted from writing and performing, June (his wife) had been in terrible pain with a [[Mastitis\|breast abscess]], and Laura (his newly born daughter) had been ill from shortly after her birth. In addition, [[Peter Eton]] was asking for early delivery on scripts, and [[Peter Sellers]] wanted to drop by at all hours to discuss ideas with his friend. Spike began to hallucinate. Taking a potato knife, he made his way to Peter’s flat, later explaining: ‘''I was so mad that I thought that if I killed Peter it would all come right. I think I just wanted them to lock me up. I was totally demented. Poor Peter hadn’t done anything.''’
			*Spike was hospitalized for a few weeks in [[Muswell Hill]]. [[w:Straitjacket\|Strait-jacket]]ed and in isolation, within days he wanted to be back at work writing ''The Goon Show'' – which he saw as his only means of supporting his wife and daughter. His therapists however wanted him to rest and he was given sedatives, with the doctors and nurses taking pencils away from him to enforce rest.
