Round the Horne was the radio show which kept the nation in stitches from 1965 to 1968. Starring Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick, Betty Marsden and Bill Pertwee, the weekly comedy brought us such classic characters as Rambling Syd Rumpo, Kenneth Horne Master Spy and the unforgettable Julian and Sandy. With its mixture of surreal humour, verbal games, parody and double entendre, the show pushed the boundaries of comedy at a time when permissiveness was changing society's values.The Best of Round the Horne features 20 classic scripts, chosen by series co-writer Barry Took. Most of them are being published for the first time, along with exclusive material which was cut before broadcast. The book includes an introduction to each script by the show's archivist Mat Coward, who has also annotated each script with a wealth of extra information. The book provides a unique collection for fans of the series.

Round The Horne: Volume 2 (Vintage Beeb)

Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams, Betty Marsden, and Hugh Paddick star in 17 episodes of the anarchic 1960s radio comedy, including the 1967 Christmas special. Round the Horne arrived on BBC radio in 1965, bringing laughter to Sunday lunchtimes throughout the land. Over the course of 16 weekly episodes it carved a niche in the history of broadcast comedy, a sketch show which prodded the boundaries of propriety and innuendo. At its heart was the suave and upstanding Kenneth Horne, around which revolved the multiple naughty personas of Kenneth Williams, Betty Marsden, Hugh Paddick, and Bill Pertwee. Among the parade of regular characters were Julian and Sandy, the camp couple of resting thespians happy to turn their hands to anything; Rambling Syd Rumbo, the musical cordwangler; Fiona and Charles, the passionate duo; and J. Peasemold Gruntfuttock, the world s dirtiest man. Meanwhile regular film parodies, spoof sagas, and musical interludes peppered the mix. In addition to the 16 episodes of Series Four, this edition also includes the 1967 Christmas special episode "Cinderfella" and "The Bona History of Julian and Sandy," in which Maureen Lipman takes a vada at Round the Horne s most flamboyant omipalonies. Duration: 9 hours approx."
