A fascinating collection of rare and remastered radio & TV
material starring Tony Hancock Tony Hancock's broadcasting career
began in the early 1950s with appearances in BBC radio programmes
such as Variety Bandbox and Calling All Forces. Rare archive
extracts of both are presented in this collection, along with an
edition of Educating Archie, the radio comedy in which Hancock was
a regular guest star. Soon he had his own radio series, Hancock's
Half Hour, which transferred to BBC television in 1956. This volume
features four complete episodes: the recently discovered TV
soundtrack of 'The Horror Serial', plus remastered and restored
versions of 'The Blackboard Jungle', 'The Student Prince' and 'The
Test Match' from the radio series. Also rarely heard since first
broadcast are soundtrack interviews with Tony Hancock - including
the notorious edition of Face to Face from 1960 - and interviews
with writers Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. A bonus PDF booklet looks
at each item in the context of Hancock's broadcasting career, with
insights into how many of these lost or rare items were discovered.
Marking the legacy of one our greatest comedy entertainers, this
collection is a must for fans of Tony Hancock and Hancock's Half
Hour.
