Tony Hancock

"The Lad Himself"
The Lad Himself

Sixty-three episodes of Galton and Simpson's "Hancock's Half Hour" and "Hancock" were broadcast on B.B.C. television between 1956 and 1961. Of these, thirty-seven have survived in the archives and stand witness to an absolute perfection of the classic half-hour sitcom format with performer and script writers combining flawlessly in the production of near-immaculate shows .....
