Kenneth Horne


Charles Kenneth Horne, generally known as Kenneth Horne, (27 February 1907 – 14 February 1969) was an English comedian and businessman. He is perhaps best remembered for his work on three BBC Radio series: ''Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh'' (1944–54), ''Beyond Our Ken'' (1958–64) and ''Round the Horne'' (1965–68).
The son of a clergyman who was also a politician, Horne had a burgeoning business career with Triplex Safety Glass, which was interrupted by service with the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. While serving in a barrage balloon unit he was asked to broadcast as a quizmaster on the BBC radio show ''Ack-Ack, Beer-Beer''. The experience brought him into contact with the more established entertainer Richard Murdoch, and the two wrote and starred in the comedy series ''Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh''. After demobilisation Horne returned to his business career, and kept his broadcasting as a sideline. His career in industry flourished and he later became the chairman and managing director of toy manufacturers Chad Valley.
In 1958 Horne suffered a stroke and gave up his business dealings to focus on his entertainment work. He was the anchor figure in ''Beyond Our Ken'', which also featured Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick, Betty Marsden and Bill Pertwee. When the programme came to an end in 1964, the same cast recorded four series of the comedy ''Round the Horne''.
Before the planned fifth series of ''Round the Horne'' began recording, Horne died of a heart attack while hosting the annual Guild of Television Producers' and Directors' Awards; ''Round the Horne'' could not continue without him and was withdrawn. Since his death the series has been regularly re-broadcast. A 2002 BBC radio survey to find listeners' favourite British comedian placed Horne third, behind Tony Hancock and Spike Milligan.
