Round the Horne Series 3 (2/20) with Bona Law

Will bona lawyers Julian and Sandy get to handle Kenneth Horne's briefs? and crossed swords in 'The Three Musketeers'.

Co-starring Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick, Betty Marsden and Bill Pertwee.

Round the Horne was born out of the demise of 大象传媒 radio comedy Beyond Our Ken, after the end of writer Eric Merriman's involvement. Using the same cast and producer, Barry Took and Marty Feldman were persuaded to write the scripts - which led to four series that ran between 1965 and 1968 - packed full of parodies, recurring characters, catchphrases and double-entendres.

Recorded at the 大象传媒's Paris Studio in Lower Regent Street, London. Announcer: Douglas Smith

Music by Edwin Braden and the Hornblowers and The Fraser Hayes Four.
Producer: John Simmonds
First broadcast on the 大象传媒 Light Programme in February 1967.

The 'Gay Britannia' season on 4 Extra celebrates LGBT history in Britain for the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality.

Produced for 大象传媒 Radio 4 Extra by Peter Reed.
