BBC Radio 4 Extra - Stop Messing About!, Series 1, Episode 1

Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick and Joan Sims go beyond Round the Horne, with nude announcer Douglas Smith. From April 1969.

The follow up series to Round The Horne kicks off with the first all nude radio show - with a pull-out supplement.

Starring: 

Kenneth Williams
Hugh Paddick
Joan Sims 

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 Johnnie Mortimer, Brian Cooke and Myles Rudge 

With the Max Harris Group. 

Producer: John Simmonds

First broadcast on BBC Radio 2 in April 1969.
