Warning: Long threaded 'toot' about classic British radio comedy:

'Round the Horne' really was before my time, and I discovered the programme through BBC Radio 4 Extra. I was, of course, well aware of Kenneth Williams and Bill Pertwee from other work, but Kenneth Horne, Hugh Paddick and Betty Marsden were mostly unknown to me.

I have come to appreciate the amazing writing by Marty Feldman and Barry Took (whose work I also knew well from other contexts).

@michaelmeckler Actually - Old episodes of ITMA are really entertaining as well - tho difficult to find.
Oh and don't forget The Goon Show.
