Round The Horne.

[Gramaisc]

Half an hour of reasonable chat about Kenneth Williams.

The idea of him being the understudy for Richard Burton sounds like a Round the Horne sketch...

Tonight, I have uploaded the CDs of Series One to the computer - be warned, if you try it - this is not a task for the faint-hearted - the BBC has seen fit to make a complete balls-up of the disc-title information. This results in tracks from different discs being mixed up, if you don't 'standardise' the title format before you read the discs.

I'll attempt Series Two tomorrow.

It's all been a bit stressful.

The Great Man's birthday has come round again.

A day of celebration shall ensue.

The vaccination programme may, hopefully, allow the Over-Eighties Nudist Leapfrog Team's performance to go ahead as planned.

Horne of Plenty is available again for the next 29 days.

It was first on in 2004 and contains the first and last episodes of both BOK and RtH, plus a bit of background chat.

Amusingly, the BBC feels it necessary to issue a warning about the content before the programme itself actually starts.

OK, we're dragging ourselves to Lichfield to have a vada at this tonight - it has had some good reviews elsewhere on the tour - we shall see...

It is planned to tour the re-enactment show again in the new year.

At the Prince of Wales theatre in Cannock on February 18th*, according to the performers, but currently listed as the15th by the theatre.

Event Listing

*Edit - OK, it is the 15th, a Tuesday.

Talk elsewhere of brass monkeys led me to revisit the The Maltese Brass Monkey.

Today would be the great man's 115th birthday.

Subject to the current restrictions, I may, or may not, be holding an enormous ball.

This is on at Lichfield Garrick on May 21st.
