Journey to Uranus
- Synopsis
- Classic BBC radio comedy series presented by Kenneth Horne. In each show two out of work gay chorus boys Julian (Paddick) and Sandy (Williams) enact a sketch where their entrepreneurial businesses are visited by Horne. In this episode, in a sketch entitled Bona Bookshop, Jules recites the Seven Ages of Man speech from As You Like It in palare with heartfelt and shrill encouragement from Sandy. The climax is the account of ‘second childishness . . nanti Hampsteads, nanti minces, nanti riah, nanti everything’.
