Event Description
From the producers of the UK tour of Hancock’s Half Hour comes another radio comedy classic live on stage, celebrating 60 years of Round the Horne.
From 1965 to 1968 there was no bigger radio programme in the country than the ground-breaking Round the Horne. For 30 minutes once a week on a Sunday afternoon, audiences of up to 15 million people would gather around their radio sets to listen to Kenneth Horne and his merry crew get up to all sorts of mischief.
Noted for its movie spoofs and hilarious regular characters such as Rambling Sid Rumpo, Charles and Fiona, J. Peasemold Gruntfuttock, and Julian and Sandy, Round the Horne was one of the biggest and best radio comedy shows of all time. It has stood the test of time and still endures today, 60 years after its debut.
So come and take a step back in time to the BBC’s Paris Studios and experience this comedy classic live.
Original scripts written by Barry Took and Marty Feldman.
Compiled and directed by Tim Astley.
