Very Nearly an Armful - A Tony Hancock Podcast

S4 - E2 - Very Nearly an Armful - Lord Byron Lived Here


Listen Later

In this episode, James, Jon, Tim and Martin review the brilliant television episode Lord Byron Lived Here.  They consider the role the excellent supporting cast play in making this a firm favourite for many Hancock fans, including John Le Mesurier, Hugh Lloyd and Robert Dorning in particular. We catch up again with Julian Dutton and feature a brief extract from an interview with Hugh Lloyd himself.


The team look at the Sid penned Lord Byron poems and compare these with the poems in the radio episode The Wild Man of the Woods. They also look in detail at plastering techniques and consider just how deep the hole in Hancock’s wall actually is!

The dynamic four look at the new Network DVD release of Hancock’s Blackpool Show in a release entitled ABC Night In: Set Your Minds Free and get side-tracked once again into the world of Gerry Anderson, this time with Space Patrol, Supercar and Twizzle!
