Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick, Betty Marsden and Ron Moody star in the surviving 13 episodes from the very first group of the traditional weekly show, the forerunner to Across the Horne.

Between 1958 and 1964, Beyond Our Ken lit in the airwaves. A madcap mixture of sketches and songs, it continues to be as funny today as when it had been first broadcast.

Filled with witty wordplay, larger-than-life individuals, comic catchphrases and sublimely silly humour, the show introduced regulars such as for example Rodney and Charles, countryman Arthur Fallowfield and roving reporter Cecil Snaith. Enjoy regular documentary feature ‘Hornerama’, strategy a rest with ‘Kenneth Horne’s Holiday Bureau’, listen to Parisian caberet designer Maurice Chandelier, and fulfill Felicity and Ambrose – the happiest few in Great Britain.

With episodes compiled by Eric Merriman and Barry Took, and musical interludes through the Malcolm Mitchell Trio and The Fraser Hayes Four, join avuncular host Kenneth Horne and friends within this hilarious precursor to Across the Horne. Duration: 6 hours 30 mins approx.
