I loved Round The Horne and still do, but the FF-4 were excruciating. Tooth-rottingly sweet and blandly mid-Atlantic. Much better was Kenneth Williams appearing every week as Rambling Sid Rumpo, folksinger. There is a compilation CD available. Specimen lyric: 'Joe he was a young cordwangler, Munging greebles did he go, And heloved a bogler's daughter By the name of Chiswick Flo. Fair she was and like a grusset And her gander parts were fine But she sneered at his cordwangle As it hung upon the line.' Valmai (Lewes)
