What: Round the Horne was a Sunday afternoon must from its first broadcast in 1965, until its final airing in 1969. At its peak the cult show attracted an audience of 15 million – 2.7 million more than England’s recent victory in the Rugby World Cup final.

Straight man Kenneth Horne was at the helm of the mad-cap bunch – Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick, Betty Marsden and Douglas Smith. They mercilessly sent up the establishment through a combination of bawdy jokes and surreal literary invention acted out in a series of sketches.

One of the most popular comedies of the era, it has lost none of its popular appeal and has been adapted to the stage by Brian Cooke, the last remaining writer from the original series.
