Special agent Kenneth Horne probes a pirate invasion of the BBC, while Kenneth Williams throws a hissy fit.

How sure are Binkie Huckaback and Dame Celia Molestrangler about their latest movie revival?

And at the Studio Bona, is Mr Horne up to flexing his deltoids for photographers Julian and Sandy?

With Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick, Betty Marsden and Bill Pertwee.

Recorded at the BBC's Paris Studio in Lower Regent Street, London. Announcer: Douglas Smith

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 June 1965.
