An exclusive performance of a recently unearthed script written for Kenneth Horne and Kenneth Williams.

The recording is introduced by broadcaster Wes Butters, the man who discovered it, and brought to life by actors Jonathan Rigby and Robin Sebastian.

The plot sees the two Kenneths working together in advance of their own radio programme and follows them as they journey around the BBC's Broadcasting House, meeting a weird and wonderful assortment of characters.

Our Review: Actors Jonathan Rigby and Robin Sebastian managed to impersonate Horne and Williams so perfectly in this recording that it really was like listening to a radio show made by the famous duo in the 60s, rather than something recorded in 2009.

Whilst there was nothing particularly remarkable about the comedy contained within the episode (bar a couple of clever swan puns), its great the script has been finally been broadcast. It neatly documents the style of comedy that was so prevalent on the radio in the 60s.
