The Bona Book of Julian & Sandy contains thirteen of the Jule and Sand sketches written by Barry Took and Marty Feldman for the radio series Round the Horne.

Julian and Sandy are out-of-work actors who turn their hands to a variety of enterprises in order to make ends meet. Kenneth Horne always turns up as a potential customer and they address him, with frequent asides to each other, in highly camp language featuring many words from Polari, which Jule and Sand refer to as Palare, thus popularising the words vada, riah, eek, lallies and latty, among others.

The sketches are still delightful in written form, but it is far better to listen to the original performances by Kenneth Horne (as himself), Hugh Paddick (Julian) and Kenneth Williams (Sandy).

Polari/Palare: see Wikipedia and World Wide Words.

(I take this opportunity to include a plug for the World Wide Words newsletter.)
