The Missing Hancocks - Complete Radio Series Galton & Simpson Audiobook MP3CD
Performed by:
A Full-Cast
Kevin McNally and Andy Secombe star in new recordings of original Hancock’s Half Hour scripts by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. Between 1954 and 1959 BBC Radio recorded 102 episodes of the hugely popular comedy classic Hancock’s Half Hour. 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. Sadly 22 episodes of the show went missing from the BBC archives and have not been heard since their original transmission nearly 60 years ago – until Radio 4 lovingly recreated them over four highly-acclaimed series between 2014 and 2020. In a special treat for Hancock fans Series 4 also premiered one episode – The Counterfeiter – that was never recorded by the original team. Complete with the classic score performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra these hilarious episodes were recorded at the BBC Radio Theatre in front of a live audience. Kevin McNally stars as The Lad Himself with Andy Secombe playing the role of his father Harry and a stellar cast including Simon Greenall Kevin Eldon Robin Sebastian Margaret Cabourn-Smith and Susy Kane. Also featured is a bonus Director’s Commentary for The Matador in which Andy Hamilton chats to Kevin McNally and co-producer Neil Pearson about the joys and challenges of recreating a 1950s sitcom. In addition we hear Kevin McNally and Robin Sebastian’s riotous performance of ‘The Test Pilot’ sketch at the 2018 RAF centenary gala at the Royal Albert Hall and the interview they gave afterwards. The episodes included in this collection are: The Matador The Newspaper The Hancock Festival The Breakfast Cereal The New Neighbour How Hancock Won the War The Red Planet The Marriage Bureau A Visit to Russia The Trial of Father Christmas A Holiday in France The Crown Jewels The Racehorse A Visit to Swansea The Three Sons The Winter Holiday Department Store Santa The Diamond Ring Prime Minister Hancock Christmas at Aldershot The Counterfeiter The Christmas Eve Party The New Year Resolutions
