The Rambling Syd sketches generally began with a short discourse on the nature of the song, which would inexorably follow ; these discourses and the songs involved suggestivity and double entendre.

For this, Rambling Syd was customarily introduced by Kenneth Horne, who would set things up by ( for example ) inquiring as to the nature and origin of the song.

Rambling Syd would ( usually ) respond with an " Ullo, mi dearios ", before launching into the ensuing detailed explanation which left a great deal to the imagination.

Many of the words used by Rambling Syd were invented by the Round The Horne scriptwriters Barry Took and Marty Feldman, who wrote the majority of the songs lyrics, based upon traditional folk songs.

On 3 July 1967, Williams in the guise of Rambling Syd, recorded a series of the songs at Abbey Road Studios.

In 1975, Williams later 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.
