    As good as I expected.

    Worth watching - good ole' Hancock. These must be early ones, before he used idiot boards. Plus, he had Sid James with him.Script writing that really hits the spot. Most enjoyable.

    post-modern before they knew what it meant

    Its amazing how postmodern some of the episodes are in that they veer away from the generally accepted idea of sit-coms that we grew up used to (Sid James being a prime example in latter times with Bless this House). There is an episode about Tony worrying about his new series about to be shown on the telly and how to get away from being known just for being able to say HHHancocks Half Hour in a slightly breathless tone, which is the sort of self-reference you barely see now. Plus its fun to spot faces of comics who ended up with their own programs such as Arthur Mullard and Dick Emery.
