No wonder, we had this one on record. It's the one where Kenneth Williams nearly corpses as Rambling Sid and has to sing the last bit in one breath. I can still sing all the words to that song :D
thank you for including the theme at the end of these. it is a wonderfully inventive piece of music, and the great airy fool and band play it differently, especially the bridge, on every episode. thank you, the Edwin Braben band, for an essentially perfect performance - throughout this series, i do not recall a note out of place.
Comedy Greats, still laughing 2023..wonderful people.. Im afraid todays so called 'comedy' leaves me cold...i couldnt name any of comedians today. K.W. I want a drink, not an opinion..😂😂😂. dearly missed.

Classic stuff, hasn't aged badly. Memories of sitting with my ear glued to the radiogram. Ah....[meanwhile in the Summer of Love world, Whiter Shade of Pale was No1 for ever]
For a masterclass in comedy....this is it. Look at how unfunny so much of todays "comedy" is. Then, think back to these genius's standing round a mike,and with the skill of those talented writers, creating a world which we were allowed to inhabit for half an hour on a Sunday afternoon. I was a teenager then, and must admit I didn't understand a lot of those wonderful undertones, but the minute Julian and Sandy did their turn, I sooo wished I could have been part of their circle. Likewise Betty Marsden with her two hander.."Oh Charles.....Oh Fiona."..How can that be funny?..Just listen. It was a mix of the perfect cast,saying the most wonderful lines.
Monday 12th June 1967: "R.T.H" at the Paris, went like a bomb as usual, and K.H. gave us all a luncheon in the loggia room at the Hyde Park Hotel. I had a conversation with John Simmonds which was v. disquieting. He said he envisaged dropping everyone from the show, except K.H. and myself, in order 'to give the writers some new impetus ... ' This sounds v. reckless to me.
Tku for uploading this. Brought back many happy memories of Sunday lunchtimes. Good old days of innocence and so much laughter.
Glad you’re enjoying the channel! :)
I can't believe how many of the lines I remember.

I used to listen to this every week as a kid loved it even though a lot of the jokes went over my head still very funny
'The Palone Ranger'. Has to be one of the funniest sketches I've ever heard. Superb timing and comedic acting!
Oh for Sunday lunchtime a long,long time ago....
I can smell the roast beef. Sunday dinner of Roast Beef and Yorkshire and vegtables, ( picked that morning from the garden).

Loved those Sunday lunch times, with such amazing comedy. Where has it gone?
And The Clitheroe Kid. A bit dated now but when you’re ten it was great.
Wonderful Sundays, plus Meet the Huggets and Al Read.
I too enjoy just drifting back to happier times, I'll leave my rose coloured specs on. ❤
And The Navy Lark!
RUclips
Even funnier than when I heard it 60+ years ago!!😂

"What brings you down to these parts?"
"I've got a lousy agent".
They don't write them like that any more ...
Huge thanks for your downloads. Thoroughly enjoyable. 👌
Bring them back there legends

Wonderful radio. Thank you.
No problem :)
I remember listening to this in the early 60,s that and the Navy Game then Jimmy Clitheroe happy days
Wasn’t it the Navy Lark?
@@OHCelt yes you're right, I confused it with the Army Game, well remembered, it was 57 years ago
@@OHCelt yes it was. i think he is confusing it with the tv show 'the army game'
Thankyou!
No problem!
Splendid 👌💯
FANTABULOSA!
Kathy, did you notice that they translated your comment into English as FANTASTIC. How silly, FANTABULOSA IS ENGLISH
I love the idea of the toughest outlaw in the West not being allowed out to fight by his mother, not until he finishes his rice pudding.
THANK YOU!
No problem :)
I was 4 days old
I was 14.
🤔👍🙂 Humerous & nonsenicle 👌😎
Like many photos of the cast Bill Pertwee is missing, thanks for the post....
I know, but I never thought he was particularly funny.
No problem!
I always enjoy a cards

Kenneth Williams.
The funniest still.
26.49. Even in 1967 Jimmy Saville is an object of derision.
Ooh, me riah!
Ooh, duckie, your riah looks dolly to me, new barnet?
Beware the adverts
BONA!
Bold and cheeky with it.
But they had to include those appalling musical numbers mid-show.
That was to give the audience a breather.
awww stop messin' about
Ooh, stop messin' about yourself.
Is that Bernard Bresslaw on the right of the photo ?
It’s Douglas Smith
