I remember Round the Horne. My parents used to listen to it every week and if I'd been good i was allowed to listen to it as well. I'm not sure whether that was what gave my love of language, but I used to go round repeating all the funny words I'd heard on the radio when I was a very small kid.

Barry Took and Marty Feldman, who wrote the radio comedy series "Round the Horne".

What a great Grossmith baritone he would have made. Too bad he could never come to the US and do G&S. It might have kept him alive.

My favourite Rambling ditty was/is "The Drunken Nurker" a strirring sea shanty.

Very uncomfortable, twisted wogglin' irons... off to wurdle me groats now...
Rambling Syd was always my favourite part of 'Round The Horne', even though I only ever got to hear the tapes as Kenneth very inconsiderately died 6 years before I was born. The finest radio comedy ever.

I dare anybody to read out the lyrics to this Rambling Syd song without cracking. I got as far as the first line!
