Big Ben goes missing and Julian and Sandy open a bona boutique. With Kenneth Williams and Hugh Paddick. From March 1966.

Big Ben's missing, so Kenneth Horne gets spying - and Julian and Sandy are opening a bona boutique.

Starring:

Kenneth Horne
Kenneth Williams
Hugh Paddick
Betty Marsden
Bill Pertwee

Announcer: Douglas Smith

Recorded at the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Paris Studio in Lower Regent Street, London.

Round The Horne was born out of the demise of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ radio comedy Beyond Our Ken, after the end of writer Eric Merriman's involvement.

Using the same cast and producer, Barry Took and Marty Feldman were persuaded to write the scripts - which led to four series that ran between 1965 and 1968 - packed full of parodies, recurring characters, catchphrases and double-entendres.

Music by Edwin Braden and the Hornblowers and The Fraser Hayes Four.

Producer: John Simmonds

First broadcast on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Light Programme in March 1966.
