Stop Messing About

First broadcast from 19690406 to 19700712. (* = BBC7).

The follow-up series to Round the Horne starring Kenneth Williams, with Hugh Paddick and Joan Sims.

  • Each episode starts with a sketch before the real introduction, and some listings sites use a title based on that - but listening to the programmes they're not always correct. For example"Time To Finish The Show", in reality it's "Time To Wind Up The Show" along with the sound of winding up a clockwork.
