About this listen

Tony Hancock stars with Sid James and Kenneth Williams in the legendary BBC Radio comedy series.

Created by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson in 1954, Hancock’s Half Hour was the radio vehicle that made Tony Hancock a household name. Each week listeners would be admitted to the sometimes fantastical, sometimes mundane life of “the lad 'imself”.

Aided and abetted by Sid James, Andrée Melly, Bill Kerr, and Kenneth Williams, Hancock would enter into the spirit of each episode with characteristic dolefulness.

Included are two radio documentaries about Tony Hancock: Stone Me, What a Life! and The Complete and Utter History of Hancock.

The episodes included are:

  • "The Pet Dog"
  • "The Jewel Robbery"
  • "The Bequest"
  • "The Blackboard Jungle"
  • "The Diet"
  • "Hancock’s Heir"
  • "The Student Price"
  • "The Greyhound Track"
  • "The Conjurer"
  • "The Test Match"

Please note: due to the archive nature of the recordings, sound quality may vary.

Having purchased and listened to series 1 & 2, series 3 naturally followed my listening schedule. I feel this series was better than series 1&2 as it seems the Hancock character is, albeit gradually, evolving into the character I better know from the TV series. Though still not as great as the TV episodes, I am really enjoying these the more I listen to them.

Not quite the TV series character, but getting there.
