The Tony Hancock Collection (DVD)

It is as good as impossible to attempt to describe just the impact which Hancock's Half Hour had on Britain, its legacy, and really just how damned brilliant and important this show is. Criminally, it's one of those which suffered at the hands of the BBC's wipe-and-reuse tape-policy, so not every episode exists, but what is known to is all packaged here together. Beautiful.

Hancock: The 'Lost' TV Episodes - The Flight Of The Red Shadow/The Wrong Man (Audio)

"Hancock: The 'Lost' TV Episodes: The Flight of The Red Shadow/The Wrong Man" is two of the long 'lost' Hancock TV Episodes recently discovered by the Hancock Appreciation Society. First broadcast in 1959 as part of "Tony Hancock's 4th BBC TV Series". The master recording tapes were then subsequently wiped as was routine for many TV and Radio broadcasts right up until the late 1970s. Fortunately fans made their own off air copies by a variety of methods including hot wiring their TV sets to reel to reel recorders.

2009 is the 60th Anniversary of the Galton and Simpson writing partnership. Some of the lost episodes feature Ray and Alan in walk on parts as well as stars like John Le Mesurier, Arthur Mullard, Rolf Harris, and of course the inimitable Sid James and Anthony Aloysius St John Hancock!

Hancock's Half Hour - Volume Two (DVD)

Tony Hancock stars with Sid James as the irrepressible tenant of 23 Railway Cuttings, East Cheam.

Hancock's Half-Hour is the yardstick against which all subsequent British sitcoms have been measured, the vast majority failing to size up to its extremely high standards. Based on his famous radio show of the same name, the TV run consolidated Tony Hancock's standing as Britain's leading comic of the day; the entertainer providing ample proof that his wonderfully flexible face could be as expressive as his dextrous radio voice.

This release includes the 5 existing episodes from Series 4:

1. Ericson The Viking
3. The Set That Failed
4. The New Nose
11. The Oak Tree
12. The Knighthood
