Beyond Our Ken and Round the Horne.
On Wiki it says they were on Beyond our Ken and Round the Horne.
Question Author
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!
I've listened to it many times, many, many times...

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

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?

Beyond Our Ken is transmitted around ten times per day on ROKiT Radio British Comedy 1:

It's also on Pumpkin FM Britcom1 7 times per week and Britcom2 4 times per week.

Round the Horne is on Pumpkin FM Britcom1 6 times per week, Britcom2 4 times per week and Radio England 3 times per week.

Episodes of both programmes might also turn up on Abacus British Comedy Radio (which doesn't publish schedules):

71 episodes of Round the Horne can be streamed (or downloaded for playing at any time) from the RadioEchoes website:

Similarly, there are 88 episodes of Beyond Our Ken available here:

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.
