And, somewhere around Family Favourites time, Jimmy Clitheroe was on too! Anyone remember the Clitheroe Kid?

Also used to like (and still do
), Around the Horn - a bit risqué for the day but they managed to get it past the Beeb's censors mainly because the Beeb didn't understand the innuendo and double meaning.

I listened to Round the Horne as a child, but obviously didn't get any of the references. I just laughed because the studio audience were laughing, plus they spoke in funny voices a lot of the time.
