Episode 1

Kenneth Horne is a doctor who talks to animals, tune into wonderful Radio Balls Pond Road and Julian and Sandy troll west to The Lazy Bona Ranch.

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