A madcap mix of sketches and songs, Beyond Our Ken hit the airwaves in 1958 and ran to 1964 - featuring regulars like Arthur Fallowfield, Cecil Snaith and Rodney and Charles.

The precursor to 'Round The Horne' - sadly only 13 shows survive from the original run of 21 episodes in Series 1.

The audio was restored using both home and overseas (大象传媒 Transcription Service) recordings.

Producer: Jacques Brown

First broadcast on the 大象传媒 Light Programme in July 1958.
