Listen Later

This episode in the trilogy of three so far this Spring is the third one in the series. In this podcast James, Tim, Jon and Martin look at the brilliant fifth series episode The East Cheam Drama Festival and consider how the episode, being a play within a play, was quite revolutionary at the time.
The gang consider how the second playlet is quite Pythonesque in its lack of a punchline, review how the episode would have sounded with cut lines reinstated and look at sections of the show where Hancock doesn’t have any lines!  The four take a deep dive into all of the characters called Dolly throughout Hancock’s career and debate if this episode is the first ever appearance of a character called Cravatte!
Of course the team get distracted, this time by a book on celebrities and their cars, Philomena Cunk’s Soviet Onion and the brilliant Laurie Webb’s visit to the Riverside Studios.
