Hancock's Half Hour - No. 55

"THE PHOTOGRAPHER"

HANCOCK ON THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S ART

HANCOCK:

Never use the word "snap" to a professional photographer! You wouldn't ask Vaughan Williams if he'd knocked out a few tunes lately, would you? Symphonies, mate, and that's what this is - a symphony in emulsion!

HANCOCK AND JAMES - ARTIST AND MODEL

HANCOCK:

You're a good subject, you know: craggy old face, all the lines and bumps and scars and .....

SID JAMES:

I thought you were going to touch all that out!

HANCOCK:

Not all of it, we've got to leave some of it in - this is a character study, not an advert for ointment.

HANCOCK ANSWERS HIS CRITICS

MAN IN RESTAURANT:

This man is taking unauthorised pictures of me and my, er, ..... er, secretary!

HANCOCK:

Ho ho! 'Secretary' he says! That bit of brass!
