'Beau' joins the Foreign Legion - and Julian and Sandy look for BBC efficiencies. Stars Kenneth Horne. From May 1968.

Englishman 'Beau' joins the Foreign Legion to forget... and Time & Motion efficiency experts, Julian and Sandy look for efficiencies at the BBC.

One of BBC Radio’s most influential and groundbreaking series packed full of colourful characters, parodies, memorable catchphrases, and double-entendres.

Kenneth Horne
Kenneth Williams
Hugh Paddick
Betty Marsden

Announcer: Douglas Smith

Recorded at the BBC's Paris Studio in Lower Regent Street, London.

Round The Horne was born out of the demise of BBC radio comedy Beyond Our Ken. Using the same cast and producer, Barry Took and Marty Feldman wrote the brilliantly inventive - and sometimes outrageous - scripts for the first three series.

Series 4 is written by Barry Took with Brian Cooke & Johnnie Mortimer and Donald Webster.
