The follow up to Round the Horne only lasted two series, without KH it just wasn't the same & now that being gay was no longer illegal the polari wasn't needed anymore..

I would love to know what the "Leader" music is he listened to 🤔 I've wondered about that for years.

Is there a part 3?

[@markeightfourone8693]

It would be quite something to see what expression was on his face while he was having his 'Barclays' baaaahaha. Eyes spinning around in circles and him saying 'oooooohhhrrrr my gooooowwwd'

Why is this so much focussed on his sexuality which, because he was a self-professed asexual, is really the least important and interesting aspect of him? RIP Kenneth.

Of course he was a narcissist, sad really, deeply depressing existence
