RARE COLLECTORS CD BOX SET
HANCOCK'S HALF HOUR
SERIES 1
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.
Only 10 shows remain from Series 1. These were broadcast between November 1954 and February 1955 and produced here on five CDs as a luxury box set. The whole package is in excellent condition.
This comes with an accompanying booklet containing an introduction from the show's writers Galton & Simpson, a history of the show with contemporary press extracts and photos, episode synopses for all shows including the missing ones, and biographies of the cast. This is the first in a series of six box sets and these are quite rare.
They are: The First Night Party
The Idol
The Boxing Champion
The New Car
Cinderella Hancock
A Trip to France
The Monte Carlo Rally
A House on the Cliff
The Sheikh
The End of the Series
Whether you are a Hancock connoisseur or first-time fan, this comprehensive collection makes for essential and fantastically funny listening.
Indeed a worthy tribute to the comic genius of Tony Hancock.
