A bona ballet tune, and the criminals' five top pop songs.

Starring Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick, Joan Sims and announcer Douglas Smith. 

After the unexpected death of Kenneth Horne in 1969, plans for the next series of Round The Horne were axed. Instead - using an old catchphrase of Kenneth Williams as a series title - Kenneth joined Hugh Paddick to continue the comedy tradition and was also reunited with his "Carry On" film co-star Joan Sims. 

Written by Myles Rudge, David Cumming and Derek Collyer. 
With the Max Harris Group. 
Producer: John Simmonds

First broadcast on BBC Radio 2 in May 1970.
