Vibrating with excitement. Like seam of gold discovered in the Yukon this episode flashes with brilliance, as Hancock returns from his escape to Italy. Peppered with vintage Hancockianisms as he surveys his wrecked home: 'Oh no! Me bamboo lounger!'

It's coming very soon! Long lost episode of Hancock's Half Hour, A Visit to Swansea with guest star Harry Secombe, about to be heard on Radio 4 Extra, first broadcast since 1955!

It turns out you can have your cake and eat it!

Today we celebrate Hancock's centenary. Born #OTD 12 May 1924, Hancock rose through the ranks of stage and radio to become Britain's top comedian, famous for Hancock's Half on radio from 1954 and later on TV. He left a wonderful legacy of laughter for us to enjoy #Hancock100

Tony:  I can’t pass the test.  I’ve been up seventy three times, but they keep failing me.  I just can’t get the hang of it.  Me feet are too big, that's the trouble.  They overlap.  I put me foot on the brake, half of it goes on the accelerator as well and we’re off again!

“Hello Ronnie, another good’un, eh?”
IMO one of the lad’s finest performances ‘The Bowmans’ #BBCFour Sunday evening at 7.30.
“What do you know about it anyway? You come in here, an ex-sound mixer from Sports Report, telling me about acting. This is very nefarious, my good man.”

Good programme at The Roxy this week, two x's and a Tweetie Pie. I'll have a couple of bobs worth on that on Tuesday. They've got a new ticket tearer down there, you know. She looks very good. Mind you, I haven't seen her with the lights up yet but all the lads are after her!
