Round The Horne - 15 February 1967

[@Paul-010]

I was 17 in 1967 and listened to this every Sunday. Now at the age of 73, I get the jokes! I was so innocent!😀

@anythingbootneck I was 15 years old in 1967 and, like you, would listen to RTH every Sunday and talked about it with my school mates. Great days!

[@Paul-010]

@@johnbevan4684 Great days indeed! We “Boomers” were so fortunate.

[@pm6693]

If only some of these episodes had been filmed when they were being made. This one is more than half a century old and I'm still laughing like a drain. Ah, happy memories....

[@barrycross2585]

I still love this show, I grew up listening to it on the radio on Sunday afternoons with my family. 15th February 1967 I was 19 years of age.

[@vladimirjones7174]

I have all the episodes on my MP3 player. I fall asleep every night listening to Round The Horne or Hancock's Half Hour. I also have many other British radio shows from the 50's and 60's. They are still funnier than most modern comedy shows. Very clever scripts and Julian & Sandy are just brilliant.

[@kat71580]

Me too..wonderful shows., I don't know how many times I listen to these shows still laugh..❤

[@AlexDuggan68]

Me too. I've written a few books, true crime and fiction, my latest, We Appy Few, is almost a bawdy throwback to Horne and Carry on films.

[@hejla4524]

Me too - also discovering that ''Beyond Our Ken' is also really good.

Whilst Kenneth Williams was being acidic with many artistes, in his book "Acid Drops, of Kenneth Horne he said "I loved that man......" Great Team, Great Writers, Great Show, The Best....I remember it the first time round, at school

[@pollydickinson4789]

This takes me back to 1967, just a babe in arms but how l loved listening to them. They were so funny.😂

[@DaveMcleanJr]

If/when I get my time machine working I'll use it go back and sit quietly in audiences for shows like this. I may have spare seats if anyone wants to join me.

[@mikewilson8513]

Me please !!

[@petergraves2085]

Absolutely wonderful - genuine comedy by artists. Kenneth Williams at one of his bests.

[@uncledodge9396]

Barry Took was a comedy genius along with Marty Feltman, Graham Garden, Barry Cryer and Spike Milligan.

[@jayturner3397]

Had the pleasure of spending a short time with Spike just after Peter Sellars had died, he was upbeat surprisingly, funniest person I ever met

[@wjrs5]

Kenneth Williams was a genius.

[@DaveMcleanJr]

My understanding is that he was very happy doing Round the Horne.

[@AngelaWard-t8g]

I remember it well great laugh listening to it.. back then 😊😅😂❤❤

[@johngadsby6599]

This was real comedy!!!! Just so funny . Just a Sad old twat but still makes me howl with laughter!!!!!

[@vivhiggins6818]

Even funnier if you'd attended a live recording, as we did, in the Aolian Hall in London maybe, and listening to these shows now just makes my ribs ache from laughing. A real tonic, but lots of the remarks are time-specific, so quite `in jokes' can be missed if one's not of a `certain age'!!! Mmm, nice!

[@Vercingitarix]

The Summit. All derived, even ISIHAC... Rule Britannia. Verve, perspicacity and sagaciousness. PARLANCE. As the mice fret in the shadows, remember we once were this clever. And not a Smart Arse anywhere..

[@johngadsby6599]

totally wonderful listened to it every week. Have a few reel to reel tapes.

[@dionlindsay2]

Thenk yew, don't mind if I do. Ah reel to reel, the bleeding edge of cool in the 1960s. Steve McQueen had a wall mounted set in a '60s movie. How I wanted to be him.

[@johngadsby6599]

@@dionlindsay2 Thank you too, a fellow enthusiast. Have my Revox A77 reel to reel with my stereo set up. Used to tape off the BBC back in those days.

[@findadmaguscomedychannel9801]

Wow! Would be amazing if you could record and post on here! I would love to help but I think I would be quite useless. I usually deal with cassettes, vinyls and CDs.

[@dionlindsay2]

“Terribly romantic, isn’t it? [Sorry, I can't do the accent] Moonlight glinting on the water. Look Fiona, up there. Vast, almost frighteningly vast. And dark. I wonder if there’s intelligent life up there.” “Up there Charles?” “Not up my nose. Up there Fiona, the sky.” Wonderful.

Classic British Humour

[@derekparsons4]

Matchmaking by computer, in 1967 ! That'll never catch on.

[@jimfoyle8604]

Great to hear it again and remember all the culture of the time so well illustrated - forgiving a hint of racism and xenophobia, but forgivable l!

my favourite line was in their version of uncle silas.betty is the young innocent virgin forced to live with her sinister uncle silas played by kenny! come here and sit on my knee my dear! why? call it an old mans whim! you can call it what you bleeding like im not sitting on it! priceless!

Just hilarious

[@markshepherdmusic]

"Bishop Podcast with Sony the exploding Hedgehog"? In 1967? I must have misheard. Must have.

[@davidarundel6187]

Didn't know this show existed - surprising, what Britain didn't force on the colonys, as this would have been better received than some of the stuff we got. Good to hear these radio shows, they help to stimulate, an imagination & a 'nutty' sense of humour.

[@barrycross2585]

Wasn't it broadcast via the BBC World Service radio broadcasts?

[@rogerpattube]

Shows where Monty python got a lot of ‘inspiration’.

[@stevebuckley2429]

I have quite a few reel to reel tapes recorded from the radio at the time, always wondered if I have any shows that may have been deleted from BBC archives.Love the shows.

Do my ears deceive me at 0:18 s in ? Baron *Podcast* with *Sonic* the exploding *Hedghog* ? Eerily prescient....

With Sonic The Exploding Hedgehog? ;)

[@peterfreeman6677]

Ye-esss. I thought at first this had been tampered with, but no, it's Bishop Podcast all right. I'm impressed by the future-reading skills of the scriptwriters. I don't think podcasts were a thing for another forty years after this was broadcast.
