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).
