Round the Horne was a BBC Radio comedy programme, transmitted in four series of weekly episodes from 1965 until 1968. The series was created by Barry Took and Marty Feldman, with others contributing to later series after Feldman returned to performing, and starred Kenneth Horne, with Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick, Betty Marsden and Bill Pertwee.
This CD includes two complete programmes compiled from the funniest excerpts of the first Radio Series broadcast in 1965, written by Barry Took and Marty Feldman.
The Best of 'Round the Horne' stars Kenneth Horne, 'the uncrowned head of the show', Kenneth Williams, who played Rambling Syd Rumpo, Gruntfuttock, Sandy and Dr. Chou en Ginsberg M.A. (Failed), Hugh Paddick (Charles, Brown-Horrocks, Julian and Lotus Blossom), Betty Marsden (Daphne Whitethigh and terribly, terribly affected Fiona) and Bill Pertwee (Jocelyn Pettibone and two thinly disguised 'send-ups', Seamus Android and Rife Hobertson).
