Rambling Syd Rumpo was a folk singer character, played by the English comedian and actor Kenneth Williams, originally in the 1960s BBC Radio comedy series Round the Horne.
Rambling Syd would usually respond with an "Ello, me dearios", before launching into the ensuing detailed explanation, which left a great deal to the imagination.
On 3 July 1967, Williams, in the guise of Rambling Syd, recorded a series of the songs before a live audience at Abbey Road Studios.
[5] This is a lyrical excerpt of "Good King Boroslav", from a Christmas episode, Cinderella, first broadcast on Christmas Eve 1967: In 1975, Williams starred with Leslie Phillips, Lance Percival, Miriam Margolyes and others, in the short-lived radio sketch show Oh, Get On with It, based on a pilot episode entitled Get On With It, which also featured appearances by Rambling Syd.
