My mum has been in hospital for 3 weeks with pneumonia and I am sure this has kept her spirits up I'm allowed in to feed my mum 3 times a day because she cannot speak due to a severe stroke but this makes her laugh and smile . Thank you from the bottom of my heart from me and mum xx
The best line and most risqué statement I think they ever used, was when they referred to the difficulty of having an upright in a cottage. To those the didn’t understand they thought Julian and Sandy were discussing installing an upright piano in a rural dwelling. For those who could grasp the subtext they knew this was about having gay sex in a public lavatory. The genius of their writing was never given the credit it deserved.
@@billyunterbuchner9197 sorry ducky, but I have to point out that you’re not very good at this are you? Oh, but what are you like on a cottage upright I bet your fingering is bona! 🥰
How did they get away with this!!!! I was only young buts made me hoot with laughter and even all these years later still reduces me to tears Brilliant !!!!
Whenever I'm feeling a bit out of sorts, am instant smile comes across. I feel in line with me Williams when I first saw him in Make Mine Mini, and even though he has a small part, it also featured Ms Hattie Jacques (who's scene as the 'debutante tutor' was hysterical) - and as any good boy who's a bit different, I couldn't get enough of them. 🌹
I loved the cowboy sketch, introducing 2 Gin Tex. Kenneth Horne says shouldn't that be 2 Gun Tex. The reply was - no dear 3 Gins and I'm any bodies! Similar to - one drink and I can feel it - two drinks and anyone can! LOL I've used that line occasionally myself.
Truly gifted, beyond inteligental and fear of social repurcussions that were not there then! As of now, well the british lose a comedic value being subject to P.C. Sad.
This brings back so many memories, sat around the radio & listening intently, you swear you could almost see them. As for Jules & Sandy, this was very close to the knuckle for the time, the kind of "joke" that many knew about but few mentioned openly.
They escaped the wrath of Mary Whitehouse for years...thank goodness... they kept Polari alive and made their listening de rigeur (oooo and that's your actual French) amongst the gay community.
Fabulique....and that's your actual French !. Does anybody know where I can hear a recording of the famous episode where they did "The Palone Ranger" with Kenneth Williams crying out "High Ho Sylvia!"
The episode you are looking for can be found on radioechoes.com You will find all the listings including a brief synopsis. I have the recording downloaded, so it does exist. Happy days, thanks to you Max for putting the clips on, absolutely brilliant.
Round the Horne Series 3 Episode 19 "The Palone Ranger" The Palone Ranger sequence was not part of the Julian & Sandy strand so does not appear on this compilation.
FYI, Writer Barry Took killed off the characters after the 4th series by introducing their Wives !!, turns out they were not gay at all - 'Hello I'm Sandra & this is my friend Julia' ......
FYI, they weren't "killed off" as such...there were only four series of RTH, as Kenneth Horne died shortly after the 4th series. The subsequent show went in a different direction with different characters, since they felt uncomfortable writing essentially the same show without Horne there...
@@richardcochrane1966 Barry was appointed Deputy head of BBC comedy under Michael Mills in early 1969 & said he would have been too to busy for RTH, his first job was to commission Monty Python's Flying Circus.
