Kenneth Horne stars in a roaring 1920s film spoof 'Thoroughly Modern Willy' and Rambling Syd Rumpo sings of a nadger.

Meanwhile, Julian and Sandy come over all transcendental with Bona Gurumat.

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

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.
