A madcap mix of sketches and songs, Beyond Our Ken hit the airwaves in 1958 and ran to 1964 - featuring regulars like Arthur Fallowfield, Cecil Snaith and Rodney and Charles.
The precursor to 'Round The Horne' - sadly only 13 shows survive from the original run of 21 episodes in Series 1.
The audio was restored using both home and overseas (Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Transcription Service) recordings.
Producer: Jacques Brown
First broadcast on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Light Programme in July 1958.
