Kenneth Horne - playwright   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) Kenneth Horne also played his part in this dialogue revolution, although he lacked the benefit of Coward¹s thoughtlessness. Horne¹s characters teeter on the brink of the outrageous, the perverse and the anarchic, but always shy away from the precipice and return to the fold. There is a misconception that Kenneth Horne wrote bedroom farces; he didn¹t, but a play such as Wolf¹s Clothing (1958) paved the way for certain tawdry productions of later decades. www.doollee.com /PlaywrightsH/HorneKenneth.htm   (1682 words)

BBC 7 - Comedy - Round the Horne Round the Horne crackled out of the nation's wirelesses Sunday afternoons from 1965, becoming one of the most popular comedies of the era until it finished in '69. Kenneth Horne as the straight man anchored the whole careering, seething, teaming, chaotic hullabaloo emitted from the likes of J Peasemold Gruntfuttock, Rambling Syd Rumpo, Daphne Whitethigh, Shamus Android, Binkie Huckaback and Dame Celia Molestrangler (played by Betty Marsden, Hugh Paddick, Bill Pertwee and Kenneth Williams). Kenneth Williams camped his way through the script as limp-wristed Sandy, normally introduced by Hugh Paddick's character saying "Hello I'm Julian and this is my friend Sandy", making homosexual double entendres that allowed British suburbia to laugh openly about what had been strictly taboo. www.bbc.co.uk /bbc7/comedy/progpages/horne.shtml   (388 words)

Kenneth Horne obviously got that wonderful voice from his father, and both died young because of weak hearts and an unwillingness to take medical advice. Kenneth Horne's voice is great to listen to. liberalengland.blogspot.com /2006/08/round-silvester-horne.html   (585 words)

Kenneth Horne The mainspring of this plot is a wife's mistake in thinking that the present of a magnificent bunch of roses comes from an unknown admirer, when in fact they have been sent by her husband.

The plot of this unusual comedy centres around a mother's astonishing discovery that the effect of a prescribed sleeping draught is to make her mind and spirit slip away from her body. www.filmrights.ltd.uk /Horne.htm   (262 words)

One of BBC's most inspired lunatics - smh.com.au Also included in the weekly gallery of grotesques conjured up by their fertile imaginations were Rambling Syd Rumpo, a deranged folk singer always ready with ballads involving ganders and bogling; the paranoid religious maniac J. Peasmold Gruntfuttock; and the aging cinema heart-throbs Charles and Fiona, based on matinee idols. Round the Horne was served by a cast of outstanding comic talents headed by Kenneth Williams and constructed around the authoritative figure of Kenneth Horne, a former RAF officer and business tycoon who provided the perfect foil to the inspired lunacy happening all around him. It came in an edition of Round the Horne in which Kenneth Horne, Masterspy, was required to telephone the head of the Football Association, Sir Hubert Sweet, in pursuit of the missing World Cup. www.smh.com.au /articles/2002/04/15/1018333483719.html   (1304 words)

Round the Horne , a CurtainUp London review In his genial way Horne came to symbolise the patriarchal authority of the old order challenged by the forces of trendy hedonism soon to be dubbed "Swinging London". The unflappable Horne may introduce rustic folksinger Rambling Syd Rumpo, keep his distance from the scrofulous J Peasemold Gruntfuttock, King of Peasmoldia and stalker to the stars, or apologise for superannuated thespians Dame Celia Molestrangler and Binky Huckaback, but he will inevitably encounter Julian and his Friend Sandy.
