I just love it when Kenneth Williams briefly breaks character because he knows it'll get a bigger laugh. Genius.
Those breaks from character by Kenneth Williams were actually written into the script by Barry Took.

@@jimryan9980 Well, some of them. Williams never cared much for order, or so I'm told.
@@MaskedMan66
Your right , he often broke character when appearing on stage , in plays .
Still , an incredibly talented person .RIP..
Amazing to think that we used to listen to this right after Sunday lunch, and it featured Jules and Sandy, an outrageous and flamboyantly gay pair. This was the BBC in the mid-1960s, but no one (other than Mrs Whitehouse) thought twice about it - you could hardly get away with this in the US even now. The great days of the BBC.
Utter bollocks.
@@zapkvr0101 Got anything intelligent to comment here, or is that all you have?
@@OHCelt ah that was going to be my next question to you. Dumbass. Or are you trying to cancel me too?
In one of the last episodes, set at a party, Sandy and Jules attended with their wives!!
@@stevelee4952 Yes, not sure what that was about, because their preferences had been established long ago!

The best sort of comedy, the jokes are mostly in the head, and it is fit for children!
Loved this on Sundays, then jimmy clitheroe of an evening, v little TV back then..better for it too
Best of British humor...many happy memories. Thanks for posting
Amazingly clear recordings… Such fun too.. 🤪
Such a joy to hear this again. Thanks so much!
How brilliantly funny this programme was, and still is. It really made me laugh how all the cast put on different voices, while Kenneth Horne used his normal voice. Comedy at it's best
Much thanks for posting this. Looking at the number of views just since 3/13, it seems I am not alone in appreciating the writing of Took and Feldman, plus the troupe ensemble.
Wonderful pure British humour
Although compiled and instigated by Kenneth Horne. It is Kenneth Williams that makes these programmes. 😀His "Cordwangle" songs just break me up. Thanks "FindAdMagus" for the postings.
It was written by Barry Took, who had written "Beyond Our Ken" previously for Horne and Co., but obviously by the mid 60s were able to get away with far more risqué material than in the more straitlaced previous series and brought in the more surrealist Marty Feldman to replace the previous co-writer.
@@anonUK Thanks for the input. I knew that Barry Took was a scriptwriter for these shows. I forgot that Marty Feldman was also one. 👌
The bloke on the left Hugh Paddick was in the Blackadder episode as one of the two annoying actors. Brilliant.

I've never heard anything so ridiculous - rhinoceros cooked in the oven!!!! Madness - have you tried getting hold of caraway seeds, never mind Walrus cubes? What's wrong with a simple Rhino Ragout, or Rhinoceros au Poivre? Incidentally, they served a superb Rhino's foot jelly with Basil at the Vestigial Gnome Fumbling in Luton Hoo's Cilla Black Memorial Hall and Slipper Bath. Basil didn't mind.
Always worth fast-forwarding past the Fraser Hayes Four. Some things don't age well.
Sad but true. The rest was pure genius.
@@adennehy And yet the trio from 'Beyond our Ken' still sound decent!
oh my, I read this comment first and expected something like a racist bit that's much more offensive in hindsight, but it's just old-fashioned music haha.
I do the same thing with the Max Geldray & Ray Ellington spots on THE GOON SHOW. Ray does make a good occasional cast member, though.
☺️😀

Nice rufe davis ref
Mrs Miller was a pianist popular on commercial entertainment programmes.
That was Mrs. Mills.
Ah yes!
Who said "Mrs Mills"? Maybe, maybe. At least she could play the old joanna. The Americans though were cursed with Mrs Miller (different person altogether) and that's who was referenced here.
Sundays navy lark,clitheroe kid,round the Horne then evening goon show magical
Anyone got the bloke on their left our right? Not Bill Pertwee methinks.....Douglas Smith ?
Yep Douglas Smith.
Bill Pertwee was dropped for later RTH series, along with Eddie Braden & The Hornblowers
@@andrewwood1035 cheers 🍻
Does anyone know what the 'Cezannne' song at 2:04 is based on?
Its an old song called "Susanna's a funical cow" I'm sure you can find it on UA-cam
@@malcolmdale ah, thank you!! Vaguely remember it from years back but couldn't remember the words.
Wasn’t it used in an advert for tyres or something at the time?
Let’s hope the Woke millennials don’t discover this pure comedy genius!!! And try to topple it. If they do I hope it falls on top of them 🤣
Whip out your reporter’s companion 😳
7:19 Help an ignorant hern, somebody; who's Mrs. Miller?
Someone, has answered your question, and stopped any further pondering, the matter for me.
@@davidarundel6187 I saw that, but it didn't clarify the joke.
@@MaskedMan66 The joke was Mrs Miller is awful.....but was even worse before he taught her
@@milligan8838 That much I caught from the beginning. I was wondering who the lady was.
@@MaskedMan66 1960's TV/radio music 'star' - her singing was...distinctive. I believe her greatest 'hits' can be found on you-know-what Tube?
I recommend listening to 'RTH: Complete & Utter History' by writer Barry Took if you can - he spends a bit of time explaining the 60s references. Most of them are obscure now...
Ah well, plus ca change. That's your actual French 😉
Mrs miller was a lady in rhe 60s who recorded a song called up up and away and her. Voice. Was dreadful
I think she also covered Downtown
Apparently she was .... unique, that's a good way to describe it . Her voice was compared to the sound of "roaches scurrying across a trash can lid."" She sang for US servicemen in Vietnam, which may be why they all gave up and went home (okay, okay, gimme a break, that was a joke).
