Fraser Hayes Four.

[Atheist]

Do any young ABers remember the Fraser Hayes Four? If so, what popular wireless comedy show did they feature in?

[Mamyalynne]

Beyond Our Ken and Round the Horne.

On Wiki it says they were on Beyond our Ken and Round the Horne.

[Atheist]

Helly, if you had to consult Wiki, then you're too young to have known it. Have you ever listened to RTH or BOK? They are well worth a listen!

[THECORBYLOON]

I've listened to it many times, many, many times...

Round the Horne is on BBC Radio 4 extra on Thursdays.

TheCorbyLoon, but... excuse me, I've got Brown-Horrocks on my extension!

[hellywelly4]

Atheist - listened to those programmes many, many times but I don’t remember the F-H four.
I’m curious - if you knew the answer then why did you ask the question?

Hellywelly. Nostalgia pure nostalgia. It’s not what it used to be.....

Have quite a few Round the Horne on CD. They never age. They are brilliant.

The name is familiar, I'm aware they were on Kenneth's radio shows as I recall the intros. Didn't pay them much attention after that; radio music interludes are just background radio music I guess.

I thought "many times, many many times" came from Henry Crun (The Goon Show) - but from posts on here it would appear perhaps not.

I regularly listened to the Goon Show and Round The Horne when I was young which was so long ago I'm quite likely to get them mixed up.
