- Disillusioned with the choice of political parties? Then vote to Keep Britain Bona with the Universal Party. Shake hands with your prospective member. Hugh Paddick & Kenneth Williams as Julian & Sandy along with Kenneth Horne. Originally broadcast on the April 26th, 1968 edition of 'Round The Horne'.
My grandpa choking on his pipe laughing! Takes me back to being a little girl and I'm sixty now.
I stand behind the working man with my prospective member.
😆 😆 lol 😆
I stand behind Julian
They would have got my vote 👍
Wonderful. Takes me right back to Sunday lunchtimes, long ago.
I know it's a nurdy comment, but the auto-text was completely baffled by the fabulouso duo.
Likewise, I was a young teenager and didn't have a clue what a good part of the innuendo meant
Sadly nothing like this wonderful humor these days.
Exactly!
"The party's flag is deepest puce, With fleurs de lys in pale chartreuse".
Brilliantly written by Took, William's and Paddick
I remember it!
@@CiceroLounge As I understand the scripts were by Took and Feldman. Brilliantly performed certainly.
I listened to them first time round and it's still bloody hilarious.
That was when radio was worth listening to!
Thanks for the memories I concur keep Britain Bona!
I thought I’d heard them all. Crying, dying with laughing 😂
Sunday dinner after the washing up 2 pm on the sofa for a wonderful laugh 1959 to 1966
Everything they say sounds absolutely filthy! How did they get away with it in that day and age, (1960s)? "Shake hands with your prospective member." "I stand behind the working man" and "I stand behind Jule, I'm his campaign manager." "He's an old campaigner, Mr Horne!"
@raphael44ify Who could possibly be offended by futtock nadgering, lowering your scrodes or the like? Well Mary Whitehouse for one. She submitted many complàints to the Beeb with very little success. I gather J. Peasemold Gruntfuttock attracted quite a bit of her censorious ire. The Beeb took the view that if listeners wanted to attach a rude meaning to a word or phrase, that was entirely up to them. I bought a book of Round the Horne scripts years ago. In his forward the Director General of the BBC, Hugh Greene, said that if there was a question of taste in a script, it would be sent to him. He always returned it with the note 'I see nothing to object to in this.' He then went on to admit that he enjoyed 'dirty shows.' Thank goodness for it too. Imagine if Mary Whitehouse had managed to spoil our fun. I adored Round the Horne as a boy even though I wasn't old enough to understand some of it. Now as a 69 year old boy I love it even more with the advantage that I fully understand it all.
The BBC bosses were too naive - thankfully.
How did they get away with it? Who cares! I'm just really glad they did 🤣 Was funny when I was 5 years old (and my mum didn't understand it!) but it's side-splittingly hilarious now, specially after someone taught me a few words of Polare years ago 🤣🤣
@@yann664 Maybe TPTB didn't, but the audience certainly did!
Mainly because a lot of it was suggestion and implication, and their defence was always that there was nothing smutty about what they were doing, it was your imagination making it that way!
Obviously, they fully knew what they were doing, and having two gay actors playing the roles heavily leant on the fourth wall, but they were smart enough to have plausible deniability. Mae West was getting away with it in the 30s with quips like, “I’m the girl who works for Paramount during the day and Fox all night” 😂 You’re meant to see the double entendre in Fox sounding like “Fucks” and she’s hinting at her infamous reputation, but the line itself isn’t actually risqué!
Happy memories! So very bold, too, and well before the 1967 Sexual Offences No 2 Act. Round the Horn was a 'must' for the much more secretive gays of the time.
There was a lot of it about at the time.
"Let's mince together , hand in hand ! We'll make Great Britain, Fairyland !"
Bona.
Classic! In fact, fantabulosa! Happy memories of my boyhood - listening to this, duckie, don't be bold!
Go on! Purge yourself girl!
They would get my vote anytime.....
I could certainly get behind them
Wonderful stuff! The antidote to everything. Belly laughs galore! Bona legacy, Jules and Sand 💖🤣🤣
Still as funny now as when first broadcast. Sunday lunch always had to wait til it was over we were all laughing so much.
Still has me in stitches.
Much rather Keep Britain Bona than Liz Truss.
Great cast ! 2023 !
Fantastic. Love these two.
A contender for their best ever sketch, surely...?
Absolutely.
This, Bona Rags and Bona Law
Shake hands with your prospective member...loool
brilliant, takes me back to my youth
Were you a political ome?
I say!
@@anonUK lol never fancied a cottage upright lol
Brilliant.
Let us not mince....I haven't finished yet....words
Just brilliant! 👏👏👍❤️
Brilliant
Magical and so relevant! 😊😉🥳⌛
Hugh Paddick playing the piano.
Fantabulosa on the cottage upright!
@@Johnny-sj9sj How did double entendre that get past the BBC censor .
@@brianrodney5202 probably because only a minority got the reference
On the same bill as floodlit horse massage from the Highbury Stadium :)
Loving R4Xtra. I didn't understand it on family favourites. What they got away with.
still so funny :)
Agreed it is really funny even today
Theresa May, Corbyn and the rest get ready ...
Let us not mince !
Small sizes won't be left out either
He’s an old campaigner! Lol
And very dextrous on the cottage upright!
@@Johnny-sj9sj boooooolllddd!!!
Back in the day when men were men, women were women and queens were queens.
Very bold.
And sailors and fishermen were sleeping with queens
Disgraceful!
I used to larf my socks off a these two on the radio. I didn't understand that they were gay, or that some of there 'language' was of the 'queer' sort. I just thought they were funny. Do I still think they are funny? Up to a point, they just brings happy innocent memories flooding back.
A huge Pole called Vladimir
Political correctness kicked straight into touch, thank God.
WTF.
I loved these two when I was child although I didn't know they were gay, we weren't very knowledgeable then. Let alone that they were talking palate. I called my Mum a polone and her legs lallies.
Polaris dear
Penny Forsyth Yes. Fortunately the BBC didn’t realise it either. A different world though not one I would like to go back to. In. Those days, when many families didn’t have television, we would all sit around the radio and find different jokes hilarious.
POLARI dear.
Mark Turner - Ooh! Get you! Bold!
Bona 👍
should be palare. Damn predictive text .
*Polari
I expect a huge poll
His name's Vladimir
no double entendres here at all.....
“Did you manage to drag yourself up on deck?“
“No we just dressed casual.“
To be honest, if you know the slang... outside the double entendre... this is as rude as Graham Norton.
how on earth did they get away with this at that time?
The men in suits at the BBC didn't know what they were talking about, that's why!
@@kyawkyawwin1 Absolute nonsense. Everyone knew what they were talking about.
@@joshuarosen6242 yep! correct
@@joshuarosen6242 Not at the time. Take in mind, the double entendre was always allowed, but the polari went over many heads.
If the BBC understood the slang, they would have certainly reined it in.
An upright cottager could easily imply an erection, piano or a lady.
Very few were thinking about a shag in the park with a gay stranger, standing up.
Trade could be simply, on the pull - but we know it specifies gay partners.
Notice how at times the audience laughs at seemingly random silly words. They get the reference.
There would have been closet homosexuals listening in. A massive wink to them.
The BBC bosses were too naive.
There the best
Love
Unsurpassed in all their sketches. Keep on mincing.
They'd be much better politicians than half of the clowns we have today.
How apposite at this time.
1:35 Coded reference to Jeremy Thorpe?
I think you're about 10 years out of date ducky.
@@kyawkyawwin1 This is nearly 60 years out of date.
😊
