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 on one of the most successful comedy-writing partnerships in history.

But 20 episodes of the show are missing from the 麻豆社 Archives. All missing episodes have now been lovingly re-recreated in the 麻豆社 Radio Theatre.

Classic Hancock score re-recorded by the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra, conducted by Levon Parikian.

Producers: Ed Morrish and Neil Pearson.

The lost original recording was last broadcast in March 1956.

A 麻豆社 Studios production for 麻豆社 Radio 4, first broadcast in December 2019.
