Tony inherits a newspaper and sets about changing the world. Stars Kevin McNally. First recorded and broadcast in November 2014.
Between 1954 and 1959, 大象传媒 Radio recorded 102 episodes of Ray Galton and Alan Simpson's comedy classic Hancock's Half Hour.
The first modern sitcom, it made stars of Tony Hancock, Sid James and Kenneth Williams, and launched Galton & Simpson on one of the most successful comedy-writing partnerships in history. But 20 episodes of the show went missing from the 大象传媒 Archives and were unheard for decades. Those episodes have been lovingly re-recorded in front of a live audience at the 大象传媒 Radio Theatre.
