Product Description

Hancock's Half-Hour is the yardstick against which all subsequent British sitcoms have been measured, the vast majority failing to reach its extremely high standards. Based on his famous radio show of the same name, the TV series 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 DVD contains the episodes "Ericson the Viking", "The Set that Failed", "The Oak Tree" and "The Knighthood".

5.0 out of 5 stars Treat yourself to more Klassic Comedy 23 April 2006
Tony Hancock and Sid James were undeniably a great team and with such strong scripts behind them and their own natural coming timing the humour was and is truly inspirational and has a sense of timelessness which can be enjoyed again and again.

If you want to enjoy truly classic comedy then sit back and watch such rare gems which have rarely been seen.

The only disappointing thing about this DVD is the fact that there are only 5 episodes on it and no extras included.

1-Ericson the Viking

2-The Set That Failed

3-The New Nose

4-The Oak Tree

5-The Knighthood.

Four of these treats I have never seen before so I found it money well spent regardless of the price.

Of particular amusement is always the adlibbing between Tony and Sid made to cover up their mistakes as it was filmed live.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hancocks Half Hour - volume 2 28 Jun 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this as a Fathers' Day present ( along with volume 4) My Dad was delighted with it - he had volumes 1 and 3 so volumes 2 and 4 were very welcome. Tony Hancock is remembered as a genius of comedy and this didn't disappoint.
