Such memories, such gratitude. We are so fortunate that these programmes are still available online. As a great Hancock fan, I am sad to learn that the BBC destroyed several of the tv half hour programmes. These wonderful shows will last forever. England, January, 2024.
As an American who loves Britain and British humor I think this show is absolutely hysterical. There was also a wonderful singer on the show I can't remember her name but she's not on this particular show. She had a great voice and she sang very rousing songs. I missed her this time around
Comedy in utter gloriousness. Loved it then, love it more now. XXX To the memory of all the cast who gave us such laughs then, and continue to do so now.
The writing and performances are so fresh and energetic it could have been made yesterday. Except there is no longer the talent to produce such a programme.
How incredibly old-fashioned!!!! Formation goat-nadgering was discontinued by the government of The Right Honourable J Peasmold Gruntfuttock in 1987, and Armadillo baiting was considered to be cruel as early as MCMLXVII and subsequently banned, although once it was discovered that Armadillos can't play musical instruments the band was disbanded and replaced by Acker Bilk.
