Hancock's Half Hour: The Very Best Episodes Volume 2

Galton and Simpson have chosen another selection of favorite episodes from the classic radio series. The Conjurer sees Hancock taking up magic, and hired by Sid to put on a show at Dartmoor Prison. Little does he know that it’s only a front for an escape plan. . . In Cyrano de Hancock, Sid is besotted with Miss Pugh, and asks for Hancock’s help in expressing his love, while The Diary finds Hancock looking back at 1956, and falling into a reverie where he imagines himself as a surgeon, a lion tamer, and a test pilot. Finally, in The Impersonator, Hancock hears an actor in a cornflake commercial imitating his voice, and promptly takes the impersonator to court. Once again, the master of misery is supported by a star cast including Sid James, Bill Kerr, Kenneth Williams, and Hattie Jacques, and four sparkling scripts by the masters of mirth, Galton and Simpson.2 CDs. 2 hrs.
