Bernard Cribbins pays tribute to Mollie Millest, who wrote scripts for many of Kenneth Horne's radio appearances and eventually became a ghostwriter for the series Beyond Our Ken.
He is joined by actor Jonathan Rigby, who plays Kenneth Horne in the popular stage production Round The Horne Revisited, and Bill Pertwee, an original BOK cast member.
They recreate some of Mollie's sketches and poems, along with readings from the unique correspondence she shared with Horne over several years.
