Description
Eight brand new recordings of original Hancock's Half Hour scriptsHancock's Half Hour was one of the most popular radio comedies of the 1950s, and the first modern sitcom.
Over 100 episodes of the show were broadcast between 1954 and 1959, but 22 went missing from the BBC archives.
Lovingly recreated by Radio 4 in front of a live audience at the BBC Radio Theatre, they can now be heard for the first time since their initial transmission.
Collected here are the final eight episodes from the fourth series - including a special premiere of The Counterfeiter, which was never recorded by the original team. The episodes are: The Winter Holiday, Department Store Santa, The Diamond Ring, Prime Minister Hancock, Christmas at Aldershot, The Counterfeiter, The Christmas Eve Party and The New Year Resolutions.
