Still kickin' it!
Used to love these.
Ah.... The Go On show. Love it. My old man got me into them.
It's an early pic with Bentine in there.
Is it the same as the Goon show ???

Without a word of a lie, I’ve been searching for ages to find broadcasts of “Round the Horne”, and only after giving up the search did I come to find it (it must be 18 months since I last searched the BBC archives – it's a bit mad that it took a B.I.R.D post to prompt me to look again). In the early seventies I used to listen to the show when I was living in my flat, during my single days of booze, birds (females) and boogyin’ down at the disco (OH-yeah!). 
One sketch that creased me up so badly that it hurt was based on the “speaking clock”; remember the posh lady who used to count down the time? “At the first stroke, it will be five, fifteen, precisely.” I’m really hoping that one will be re-visited! I’m also hoping that every series of Round the Horne will be repeated as I’ve missed the first three – Episode one of series 4 goes out 14 May, repeated at the times shown below.

Remember it but not any episodes.
One I do, but not sure which show.
It would cause a war if it was broadcast now.
They used to have a two line informative quote. Then someone would ring in and make a "relevant" comment.
"African people have tight curly hair so that when they are running around in the bush their hair doesn't get caught in the branches "
Phone rings. "African" voice says
"Well then, why the hell am I living in Brixton"
I thought it was funny.
