Ah. OK. Right.
Have a gander at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_the_Horne for starters. I'm not so ancient as to have listened to it on the wireless as a nipper, but I remember hearing clips and seeing bits of it referred to on TV.

Being late sixties, the writers managed to get a fair bit of what (then) would probably have been rather close to the knuckle into the script using Polari so that the more knowing listeners would have a bloody good laugh, and the more straight-laced types have a giggle at the funny words. It's worth a listen.

Bona nochy, coves ...
