Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams, Betty Marsden and Hugh Paddick
star in 20 episodes of the anarchic 1960s radio comedy. Round the
Horne arrived on BBC radio in 1965, bringing laughter to Sunday
lunchtimes throughout the land. 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. Round the Horne earned its
place in the annals of comedy history, and is fondly remembered
today as a groundbreaking series that influenced many more to come.
Here the entire third series can be enjoyed once again, along with
a PDF booklet featuring cast biographies and a full series history.
