Outstanding caption – remember ‘Hello I’m Julian and this is my friend Sandy’ ?!
The Old Boy
A great programme. I couldn’t believe the stuff they were smuggling past the BBC censors. I heard later that when they wanted to get something through, the writers would put an obviously vulgar gag they had no intention of using a few lines before it in the script in order to distract from the innuendo.
Pip
Teddibly sorry – confusion reigns.
Was thinking of Round the Horne – ancient radio show.
I see that Around the Horn is a more recent sporting programme…
Bertie Blenkinsop
I’m a huge fan of Kenneth Williams too.
His diaries are a brilliant read.
Bodger
Bertie, a brilliant read. He hated Dublin though.
Neilo
With good cause: Dublin was a hole in those days.
bertie blenkinsop
I got here as soon as I could!
Caroline
He had a horrific stomach condition that he loved to describe the pain of in eye-watering detail. I will never forget because I was listening to the diaries while in labour. He had it worse, no contest.
bertie blenkinsop
Yeah, I was in stitches after reading it too.
Pip
Good man, Bertie.
What about The Navy Lark, eh?
Bertie Blenkinsop
I’ve only heard bits of it, though anything with Ronnie Barker and Leslie Phillips is bound to be great.
I really should investigate further.
Has it aged well?
The Old Boy
Left hand down a bit.
Pip
Left hand down a bit it is, sir.
Pip
Oh, I think so. Ah, Sunday afternoons in the seventies, BBC Radio Two.
Wideely available on cd (formerly cassette, which I have) and downloady things.
The accents and characters are priceless.
Bertie Blenkinsop
Fair play Pip, I certainly shall.
Neilo
Round The Horne has aged pretty well – Sandy and Julian are timeless. Almost as smutty as Humphrey Lyttleton in his I’m Sorry… pomp

high praise indeed.
What is this thread about?
Old radio comedy.
Avuncularism ; )
