Very Nearly an Armful - A Tony Hancock Podcast

S3 - E5 - Very Nearly an Armful - The New Neighbour with Kevin McNally ( part 1 )


Listen Later

In this episode, Tim, Jon, Martin and Nick (in James’s absence) are delighted to introduce the brilliant Kevin McNally as our guest to review The New Neighbour and The Missing Hancocks more generally.  Kevin was most generous with his time and our chat with Kevin has been split over two editions of this podcast, so there’s more to come!


In Part 1 Kevin talks about how he first discovered Hancock and the first EP he added to his collection.  He recalls how The Missing Hancock’s received the green light for recording and how he felt when coming on stage for the recording of the very first episode.

Kevin translates for us what ‘just me hammer’ and ‘buckshee sweep’ means and recalls how he came to play the part of The Paper Boy in the episode The Crown Jewels which starred Andy Secombe as his Dad, Harry Secombe.

In Hancock updates, the team reveal the fantastic news that audio recordings of Hancock’s entire 1967 series (called Hancocks) are to be included as extras on the DVD of his 1963 series which is scheduled for a July release.
