Stone me, this is good!
For any admirer of Tony Hancock this is a must-buy. It is in fact the whole of the fifth series including two episodes never before released on tape or disc. The series has so many great episodes that it could almost be labelled a 'best of'.
Classic episodes include The Economy Drive - where Hancock and Sid [James] return from an extended holiday to discover that Sid has forgotten to cancel or switch off everything (except the telephone) during their break. this forces Hancock into an economy drive until their finances are back to normal.
Twelve Angry Men - a marvellous, funny spoof of the film of the same name.
Lord Byron Lived Here - Hancock is duped by Sid into believing that Lord Byron once stayed at Railway Cuttings and to turn it into a museum to the poet (fee paying of course).
Seven other equally good episodes and a massive 290 mins run time makes makes this indispensible. I can only hope that the Beeb release series 6 in it's entirety as both are considered to be Hancock and Galton & Simpson at the peak of their powers. Fans will not need convincing.
Tremendous, milestone TV comedy. -
