Eight hilarious 1960s shows: 'The Navy Lark', 'The Men from the Ministry', 'Steptoe & Son', 'The Likely Lads', 'I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again', 'Round the Horne', 'All Gas and Gaiters' and 'Dad's Army'.
TV assumed comedy's whip hand in the 1960s: from 'Dad's Army' to 'Steptoe and Son' it produced sitcoms of real originality. A number cemented their success by going to radio - 'Steptoe', 'Dad's Army', 'All Gas and Gaiters' and the groundbreaking 'Likely Lads' all featuring in both mediums.
Kenneth Horne's show is perhaps the quintessential British radio comedy, with its tons of puns, innuendo and bizarre characters, including those delightful "omipaloni", Julian and Sandy. "Bona!".
Enjoy these blasts from the BBC's past - great comedy from a decade that . . . like Jules and Sandy . . . really swung.
