Kenneth Williams and Hugh Paddick are the notorious resting
thespians in this hilarious collection of sketches from Round the
Horne. 'Oh, hello. I'm Julian, and this is my friend Sandy...'
Through four series of Round the Horne, Julian and Sandy graced
each episode with an encounter with 'that nice Mr Horne'. Each week
they'd be up to new tricks, from filmmaking (Bona Prods) to a
travel agency ('something exciting in a cheap package') and a
'bijou restaurantette' (La Casserole de Bona Gourmet). In these 48
lally-trembling scenarios, Jools and Sand cater for the intimate at
'omey in Bona Caterers, shake hands with a prospective member in
Keep Britain Bona, set themselves up as Bona Tax Consultants and
teach the world to talk proper in Bona School of Languages. Plus,
they reveal to Mr Horne just what Julian received on his last
birthday... This fantabulosa selection of Julian and Sandy sketches
is brimming with sparkling repartee, gloriously camp humour and
outrageous innuendo. So don't be strange - come on in, rest your
lallies and let your riah down with two of the best pros in the
business. Duration: 3 hours 40 mins.

Syd Rumbo the musical cordwangler, Fiona and Charles the passionate
duo, and J. Peasemold Gruntfuttock the world's dirtiest man.
