Maureen Lipman takes a vada at Took and Feldman's fantabulosa omi-polones from 'Round the Horne', as portrayed by Kenneth Williams and Hugh Paddick.

The documentary features Hugh Paddick, Kenneth Williams, Betty Marsden, Barry Took and Kenneth Horne.

Just the catchphrase of the legendary camp double-act "Hello, I'm Julian and this is my friend Sandy" was enough to spark audience laughter. Thanks to the sharply written scripts of Barry Took and Marty Feldman, Paddick and Williams helped introduce the camp gay language of polari to 大象传媒 listeners.

Each week, straight man Kenneth Horne found himself trolling into a variety of bona scenarios, being mercilessly sent up by the innuendo-loving duo.

Lipman explains some of the mysteries of speaking polari, along with classic clips from Bona Law, Rentachap, Bona Tours, Ballet Bona and Bona Productions.

Written and produced by Turan Ali.

First broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in 1998.
