Kenneth William, of course. Betty Marsden, Bill Pertwee, Hugh Paddick, Douglas Smith (the announcer?) are names I remember from a misspent youth. Fiona & Charles was an oft repeated interlude, with "I know", "I know you know", often inserted , (as a filler?) J. Peasemould Gruntbuttock, was another character. There were also takeoffs of well known TV characters. Seamus Android (Eamonn Andrews), Fanny Haddock (Fanny Craddock, of course), Daphne Whitethigh (Katherine Whitehorne?)
