In this final episode of the current series, Tim, Jon, James and Martin take a look at the brilliant radio episode Hancock’s Car from the golden fifth radio series.The gang consider how all the cast deliver a masterclass in acting and comic timing and how the opening scene of Hancock, Bill and Sid just cleaning the car is a fantastic example of Galton & Simpson’s uncanny ability to create comedy out of nothing.The team look at the differences between the various edits of this programme against the original script, consider how well this episode showcases Hancock’s focus on his social standing and finally the team discuss, in detail, recipes for stuffed marrow.In other discussions, the Gang of Four reveal a couple of fascinating items found at our recent visit to the BBC Archives at Caversham, look at the recording techniques used in Lucille Ball’s programmes and celebrate the 102nd anniversary of the birth of Hancock’s Half Hour regular Peggy Anne Clifford.Don’t forget to rate and subscribe to the podcast.  And, if you haven’t done so already, why not join the Tony Hancock Appreciation Society - full details of how to join are at tonyhancock.org.uk  We have events planned at Hancock’s old local The Red Barn in May and our annual Reunion Dinner in September; we’d love to welcome you as a member and see you at our events.
