Round the Horn sample show. A very camp couple were featured most times called Jules and Sandy. I will dive back into the rabbit hole to get some sound bites. I don't know if there were anything to compare with in the ๐บ๐ธ In these woke times these broadcasts would never be made. It's all pure ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ฌ๐ง inuation humour, we are masters of it here. Cheers DougT
While I may not get all of the jokes, I love playing it in the background and practicing my very bad British accent. Itโs truly terrible. I should stop trying. My Aussie friends shamed me so much Iโve stopped trying to sound like one of them. :-p Thanks you, dear Doug, for sharing!
Now Mr Clint in days of yore and radio light entertainment was the standard on Sundays. Morning church then mums everywhere were busy preparing the Sunday roast dinner. The males were down the pub having a few beers. Step forward a whole raft of light entertainment radio shows, both comedy or musical. The following is a synopsis of a typical few hours before evening church.
Besides Round the Horne, several other popular radio shows were broadcast on Sunday lunchtimes, primarily on the BBC Home Service and later BBC Radio 4.
Key shows in that slot included:
Beyond Our Ken: This show ran from 1958 to 1964 and featured largely the same cast as Round the Horne (including Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick, and Betty Marsden). Round the Horne was its direct successor in the Sunday lunchtime slot.
The Navy Lark: This long-running sitcom (1959โ1976) was a staple of the Sunday lunchtime schedule, often airing around the same time as Round the Horne.
The Clitheroe Kid: Another popular and long-running comedy that was frequently broadcast during the Sunday lunchtime/afternoon period.
Educating Archie: Popular in the 1950s, this show often preceded the later comedies like The Navy Lark.
Family Favourites (later Two-Way Family Favourites): This music request show was very popular and aired around the lunchtime period, bridging the gap between morning and afternoon programming.
The Billy Cotton Band Show: This show, featuring music and comedy, was also part of the typical Sunday sequence following Family Favourites.
The Sunday lunchtime period on the BBC was a popular slot for light entertainment and comedy, designed for family listening, and these shows formed a significant part of that tradition for decades.
Now at that time I was too young to fully appreciate the more 'adult humour' we kids just laughed in time to the studio audience. I'll post a broadcast of a Round the Horn show for your entertainment. But honestly this was the revered BBC I'm talking about ๐ฏ Hell knows how they got away with it. Cheers DougT
I love BBC historyโฆI grew up revering the tv side of its operations. But when I was growing up, while all us kids would gravitate to the tv, my grandmother would cozy up to her cherished console radio in another room and listen to her โoldies.โ I remember fondly how happy and relaxed those shows made her. I wish I remembered what she enjoyed watching. Me? I was a Looney Tunes loyal. Cheers!
Methinks thatโs for an advanced player, player! :-p Thanks for the sharing. So cool to see how the instrument adapts to just about any genre. Cheers!
