Big Ben goes missing and Julian and Sandy open a bona boutique. With Kenneth Williams and Hugh Paddick. From March 1966.

Big Ben's missing, so Kenneth Horne gets spying - and Julian and Sandy are opening a bona boutique.

Starring:

Kenneth Horne
Kenneth Williams
Hugh Paddick
Betty Marsden
Bill Pertwee

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, after the end of writer Eric Merriman's involvement.

Using the same cast and producer, Barry Took and Marty Feldman were persuaded to write the scripts - which led to four series that ran between 1965 and 1968 - packed full of parodies, recurring characters, catchphrases and double-entendres.

Music by Edwin Braden and the Hornblowers and The Fraser Hayes Four.

Producer: John Simmonds

First broadcast on the BBC Light Programme in March 1966.
