What stood out about those programmes were:
1. How well they've aged, with very few lost contemporaraneous references ( mostly in Horne's introductory monologue )
2. How much literature I had read in my youth that was directly influed by Horne's ensemble, without me being aware
3. How progressive it was, moreso than the likes of the Goon Show which seem to be higher-profile
It used to be a staple of BBC Radio 7 but seems to be much rarer on its successor, Radio 4 Extra:
