Hancock's Half Hour: The 'Lost' Episodes
T01937972507
In 1954, Tony Hancock burst onto the airwaves of the BBC Light Programme with a comedy show unlike anything the British public had heard before. Playing a less successful version of himself and surrounded by a cast of fellow comedy greats including Sid James, Hattie Jacques and Kenneth Williams, Hancock's Half Hour was one of the first programmes in the genre we now know as sitcom.

This Lincoln based company is proud to present two of the original ‘lost' episodes from the ground-breaking BBC sitcom Hancock's Half Hour. Written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson, this show marks the first time these scripts have been performed for over 50 years, when they were originally broadcast featuring ‘the lad himself' Tony Hancock. Featuring the radio episode A Winter's Tale and the television episode The Italian Maid, this is your chance to indulge in an important slice of British comedy unheard for nearly 60 years!
