  • Julian and Sandy were characters on the BBC radio comedy programme Round the Horne from 1965 to 1968 and were played by Hugh Paddick and Kenneth Williams, with scripts written by Barry Took and Marty Feldman.
    Their effeminate characters boldly defied current anti-homosexual laws.

      It’s their best and that takes some doing. In those days one had to be careful as the wireless and telly were heavily policed but inventive ways were found round it. Julian and Sandy were unmatched in their pushing/stretching of the envelope. Being gay then was exciting, if dangerous. However, untold thousands were never ‘caught’ you can’t police people’s feelings and nature. Most, nay nearly all people now have no problem with people being gay, it’s just some of the more militant ones that get on your wick, like all militants of any cause. Just get on with your lives now, you have equal rights, enjoy yourselves.

    Wonderful, wonderful comedy. From a time when everyone laughed and nobody was offended. The audience just loved it and the irreplaceable Paddick, Williams and Horne expertly knew how to get the best out of their audience. The joy is there for everyone to hear. Three wonderful performances magnificently scripted whose like we’ll sadly never see again just made my day. Thank you for posting it - Fantabulosa!

      Believe it or not those very lively shows - and audiences were recorded on Monday lunchtimes at the Paris Studio in Lower Regent Street. According to an interview with Hugh Paddock years ago, the tickets were always hard to get and often peoplein the audience queuing u outside the studio, would be approached and offered 5 pounds (quite a lot of money in 1965) to sell their tickets

      Sure about that? A lot of the alternative comedians of the eighties are thoroughly mainstream. Without them, we'd not have had Not The Nine O'Clock News, The Young Ones, Blackadder or anything else that came after them. And you could make a reasonable claim that the Pythons were alternative, too.

    An excellent complete collection in top quality audio.
    If you are familiar with this material from CD albums or broadcast originals, you may notice that there are minor differences. These clips appear to be the fullest version,. Small trims were made for the final transmission. This is common practice, and is done to meet time restrictions and to give shows a bit more pace. Nice to hear the full glory!
    At the time this was first transmitted, there were many homophobic journalists spouting their anti-gay bile in the mainstream press. Julian & Sandy helped put an end to that. It was an immensely clever format, especially in the role played by Kenneth Horne. He never expressed anything worse than irritation with the boys, and never disgust or contempt. He was mostly fondly amused by them, and extended to them the courtesy of adopting "polari". And it was slyly suggested that he may have occasionally shared their interests --- "My copy of Physique Pictorial --- I buy it for the gardening section". Quite a bold move for a comedian of his generation!

    Wonderful comedy from a time when edgy things could be said. But the tragic farce of it is that although they could get away with more in these shows than anyone could or would want to today, homosexuality was illegal and many good people sufferred and finally left us early because of they could not stand the strain this imposed on their lives. (Kenneth Williams being one of them and such a loss). Their lives today would be seen as totally normal and definitely allowed and protected by current law.

      I'm not sure it's accurate to attribute William's death to his sexuality, he was a troubled man in a lot of ways, plagued by physical ailments, depression and what we'd call OCD these days. His ambivalence towards being gay was real but I view it as just one part of his psychological make up, he was ambivalent about most things. Hugh Paddick was also gay and not nearly as tormented
