The Missing Hancocks recreates those episodes of the classic Hancock's Half Hour that have been wiped or lost from the archive. In this recreation: the Lad takes a break from his job as a lift attendant and decides to head to the seaside for a fortnight in Brighton... in winter! The first modern sitcom, Hancock's Half Hour made stars of Tony Hancock, Sid James and Kenneth Williams. It also launched Galton and Simpson as one of the most-successful comedy-writing partnerships in history. But 20 episodes of the show were missing from the Â鶹Éç archives. Now, after three highly successful series, another batch of those episodes have been lovingly re-recorded in front of a live audience at the Â鶹Éç Radio Theatre. Written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. Tony Hancock …. Kevin McNally Bill Kerr …. Kevin Eldon Kenneth Williams …. Robin Sebastian Sid James …. Simon Greenall Andree Melly ….
