The Winter Holiday
Tony takes a break from his job as a lift attendant and decides to head to the seaside for a fortnight in Brighton... in winter!
The Missing Hancocks recreates those episodes of the classic Hancock's Half Hour that have been wiped or lost from the archive.
The first modern sitcom, Hancock's Half Hour made stars of Tony Hancock, Sid James and Kenneth Williams, and launched Ray Galton and Alan Simpson as one of the most successful comedy-writing partnerships in history. But 20 episodes of the show were missing from the 成人论坛 archives. Now, after three highly successful series, another batch of those episodes have been lovingly re-recorded in front of a live audience at the 成人论坛 Radio Theatre.

Produced by Neil Pearson & Paul Sheehan.
