Very Nearly an Armful - A Tony Hancock Podcast

S6 - E3 - Very Nearly an Armful - Fred's Pie Stall


Listen Later

In this episode of Very Nearly an Armful,  James, Jon, Tim and Martin review Fred’s Pie Stall from the final radio series of Hancock’s Half Hour.  They consider how this episode, probably more than any other, provides a cultural commentary on societal changes in the late 1950s.
The team review the contribution of the brilliant guest cast, each of which has to play more than one role, discuss, in detail, the extended ‘guess what’ sequence compared to previously available edited versions of the show and exhibit their culinary expertise in a mouth-watering review of pies and pease puddings.
The Gang of Four discuss the recent amazing discovery of a lost Hancock’s Half Hour and reveal which would be their favourite lost episode that they would each like to see recovered.

We’ll be back in a couple of weeks with a review of the brilliant radio episode, The Student Prince from the third radio series. So, don your tin helmet, and hope to see you then.
