´óÏó´«Ã½

The Anthony Hancock Strolling Players present a cautionary tale of Christmas as it might be.

Between 1954 and 1959, ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio recorded 102 episodes of Galton & Simpson's classic sitcom Hancock's Half Hour. But 20 went missing from the ´óÏó´«Ã½ archives, and had not been heard since their original transmission… until these faithful re-imaginings.

After a highly acclaimed first series, another five were lovingly re-recorded in front of a live audience at London's ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Theatre.

Tony Hancock …. Kevin McNally
