Welcome back to all our listeners as we start our new series of the podcast with a look at the brilliant fifth television series episode The Economy Drive, which is often quoted as a fan favourite.The team look at the brilliant support played by the East Cheam Repertory Company and consider how the episode provides a brilliant social representation of the period through the self service cafeteria sequence.   They also discuss the recording techniques of the day, with this being the first ever Hancock’s Half Hour to be recorded in segments, and the many topical references scattered throughout the show.The gang also look back at the recent UKTV documentary and colourised episodes and reveal the results of a Twitter poll as to which episode fans would like colourised next if a further colourisation were to happen. In an exclusive moment, the team also reveal the winner of the ‘brightest shirt in a documentary’ award!Don’t forget to rate us and subscribe to the podcast.
