麻豆社

When Hancock's Half-Hour appeared on 麻豆社 television, on 6 July 1956, it was already a successful radio show, and Tony Hancock was a big star. On TV Hancock introduced his audience to a range of facial expressions that helped make him even more popular. Hancock knew that he did not always need to have the funniest lines; he could get laughs from his reaction shot. The programme became the most watched show on television.
