It carved a distinct segment in the annals of broadcast comedy, a sketch show which prodded the boundaries of propriety and innuendo. At its heart was the suave and upstanding Kenneth Horne, around which revolved the multiple naughty personas of Kenneth Williams, Betty Marsden, Hugh about Across the Horne: Complete Series 3: Common Comedy through the BBC Archives Paddick and Bill Pertwee.

Peasemold Gruntfuttock the world’s dirtiest guy. In the meantime regular film parodies, spoof sagas and musical interludes peppered the combine.
