Playing a less successful version of himself and surrounded by a cast of comedy greats including Sid James, Hattie Jaques and Kenneth Williams, Hancock’s Half Hour was born was one of the first programmes in the genre we now know as sitcom.
Written by up and comers, Ray Galton and Alan Simpson, who later went on to create Steptoe and Son. Hancock’s Half Hour redefined radio comedy and has had people laughing for over half a century.
