Very Nearly an Armful - A Tony Hancock Podcast

S2 E5 - Very Nearly an Armful - The Lift


Listen Later

In this episode, Tim, James, Jon and Martin discuss the television episode The Lift from the 1961 BBC Series ‘Hancock’ and consider how quickly this final series had moved The Lad Himself away from East Cheam with this episode set in BBC Television Centre.


The team also look at the wonderful supporting cast including the brilliant Hugh Lloyd (as the lift man) and briefly reflect on Jose Reed’s (the secretary) memories of the programme given to the THAS as recently as 2019 before she, sadly, passed away.  The four fans are also delighted to be able to introduce Julian Dutton (who performs on stage as John Le Mesurier in ‘Do You Think That’s Wise’) for his thoughts on the episode.

 The team  also consider a scene cut from the programme and how this scene would have completed the story; they also discuss the answers to some queries from listeners and briefly look at the upcoming BBC Audio release: Hancock’s Half Hour Selected TV Episodes and More.
