S8 -E5 -Very Nearly an Armful - Bill and Father Christmas


Listen Later

In our Christmas podcast this year we look at the radio

episode Bill and Father Christmas which was broadcast between the fifth and sixth radio series.

 

The gang consider the roles of Hattie, Sid and Hancock in

this episode and how they all appear in a role reversal of their usual characterisations.  They discuss the fantastic performance from Hattie Jacques in this, her final Hancock’s Half Hour and look at the brilliant contribution from Warren Mitchell. The team consider the deep philosophical
references in this episode and discuss, in detail, the use of duck sound effects in Hancock’s Half Hour!


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 www.tonyhancock.org.uk   We have events planned – Steve Punt (subject to commitments) will be one
of the guests at our event at Hancock’s local The Red Barn in the Spring and we are planning an event in Solihull in September 2025.  We’d love to welcome you as a member and see you at our events. In addition, screenings of
Hancock’s TV episodes on the big screen continue at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith.

 

We’ll be back in the Spring with more Hancock reviews and

special guest stars.  In the meantime, we wish all our listeners a merry Christmas and Happy New Year – do enjoy your turkey feet and chips.  We hope that you will be able to join us again next year.
