Yeah - now I haven't heard Round the Horne, will have to look for it. :-)

There are a few pretty decent collections available online, reportedly in
the public domain now. The recordings of Series 5 onward seem to be
pretty decent quality, but the few remaining episodes from series 4 are
not hard to listen to, just the volume level's a bit low.
And of course there are scripts online, mostly transcripts from people
listening to the shows.
