Kenneth Horne
|
|
(1907–69) Businessman who established a secondary career with the success of *Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh. He continued in business until he had a stroke in 1958, after which he devoted himself to radio – Beyond Our Ken (1958–64) and Round the Horne (1965–9). His immense air of respectability enabled him to make increasingly risqué jokes with seeming innocence.
