RARE COLLECTORS CD BOX SET


HANCOCK'S HALF HOUR


SERIES 5

Excellent condition

Hancock's Half Hour was one of the most successful series ever made, and it created an international star. With his impeccable timing and brilliantly subtle shifts in intonation, Tony Hancock could create sound pictures that bore the unmistakable hallmark of a genius. The BBC broadcast eighty hours of Hancock on radio and television between 1954 and 1961.

The BBC Radio Collection has published, in chronological order, all 74 surviving radio shows from the BBC Archives.  Series 5 was broadcast between January and June 1958 and the accompanying 16 page booklet contains synopses for all twenty episodes, contemporary press extracts and photographs, biographies of the cast and a foreword from Ray Galton and Alan Simpson.

This is the fifth in a series of six deluxe box sets and all twenty shows  from  Series 5 and are published here on ten CDs.

They are:   

                        The New Radio Series            The Scandal Magazine

                        The Male Suffragettes           The Insurance Policy

                        The Publicity Photograph         The Unexploded Bomb

                        Hancock's School                 Around the World in 80 Days

                        The Americans Hit Town         The Election Candidate

                        Hancock's Car                     The East Cheam Drama Festival

                        The Foreign Legion                Sunday Afternoon at Home

                        The Grappling Game              The Junk Man

                        Hancock's War                   The Prize Money

                        The Threatening Letters        The Sleepless Night

 

Whether a Hancock connoisseur or a first-time fan, this completely comprehensive collection makes for essential  and fantastically funny - listening. This collection is a worthy and lasting tribute to Tony Hancock .... a truly great comic legend of the 20th century.
