"Round The Horne is possibly the funniest radio show ever (although ISIRTA gives it a good run for it's money). I have to point out I'm not old enough to remember it myself (heck, Kenneth Horne died before I was born) but I do have all the BBC tapes of episodes and regularly listen to them and cry laughing. Julian and Sandy (Kenneth Williams and Hugh Paddick, uncle of the police guy in London) are great and apparently almost no-one, certainly not in the BBC PTB, knew what they were actually talking about. One of the best J&S skits was the one where you found out they were married...
There are still some specifically polari words still in use today actually. 'Vada' for look for example. As in 'vada the dolly palone with the fabulosa ria'. heh. No idea what the polari for tea would be though."
