Summary
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.

The Round the Horne series is pure genius. It is one of the funniest shows ever broadcast in my opinion.

Bona Series
As usual it was bona even though Ken wanted servicing. Episode 13 had a moment I have no idea how they got past the censors.

Not as I remember it.
I was disappointed in this Round the Horne audiobook. The humour is very dated and to me is not very funny anymore. I used to listen to the cassette tapes on RTH and enjoyed them, but my taste have changed. I never thought that I would get to a stage where I didn’t like the programme, but RTH cannot hold a candle to Andy Hamilton or The League of Gentlemen. I know that the writers Took and Feldman are considered geniuses but that was then and this is now.
