Beyond Our Ken - Series 3

Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick, Betty Marsden and others star in 14 episodes of the madcap forerunner to Round The Horne.

Published for the very first time, these uproarious half hours were first broadcast on the BBC Light Programme in 1960. A hectic mix of sketches and songs, it's full of witty wordplay, larger-than-life characters, comic catchphrases and sublimely silly humour. The scripts are written by Eric Merriman, and musical accompaniment is provided by Patricia Lancaster, the Fraser Hayes Four, the Hornets, Edwin Braden and the BBC Revue Orchestra.

First released: Thursday 5th January 2017

Not in the UK?

Fear not! Many items can still be ordered. Amazon in the UK delivers to many international territories, whilst their Australia, USA and Canada stores also supply many equivalent or imported items.

If you are in the North America, look out for US/Canadian flag icons on popular product listings for direct links.

If you order from a UK store, please note that the UK is in Region 2 and B, respectively, for DVDs and Blu-rays - check your player's compatibility, or look for multi-region products if you are located in another region.

If you are in Australia or New Zealand (DVD Region 4), note that almost all DVDs distributed in the UK by the BBC and 2entertain are encoded for both Region 2 and Region 4. The UK and Australasia are in the same Blu-ray region (B).
