Beyond Our Ken Volume 01

Ten episodes from Series 4 of the popular radio comedy starring Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick, Betty Marsden and others

 

A marvellous medley of songs, sketches, puns and innuendo, Beyond Our Ken was a firm favourite with listeners between 1958 and 1964. These shows, published for the first time on audio, were initially broadcast on the BBC Light Programme in 1960.

 

In these ten episodes from the renowned ‘sort of radio show’, you can enjoy a variety of films worth remembering and get some insight into the eventful life of Mr Kenneth Horne, who prefers to remain anonymous.

 

There’s also cheeky fun with Rodney and Charles, reminiscences from the gentleman who’s been doing every job going for 35 years, fascinating documentary features from Hornerama and some unusual endearments from Ambrose and Felicity.

 

The episodes include Suddenly Last Summer, Spring in Park Lane, The Gentleman’s Agreement, Three Coins in a Fountain, The Man with the Golden Arm, House of Wax, Desire Under the Elms, Brief Encounter, The Thirty-Nine Steps and Gale Warning (followed by Scrooge).
