Four more of
Ray Galton and
Alan Simpson's favourite radio episodes, with new sleeve notes specially written for this edition.
The Conjurer 19 February 1956
Cyrano de Hancock 8 December 1956
The Diary 30 December 1956
The Impersonator 29 December 1959
Galton and Simpson have chosen another selection of favourite episodes from the classic radio series, and written an introductory sleeve note to explain just why they love each one so much.
The Conjurer sees Hancock taking up magic, and hired by Sid to put on a show at Dartmoor Prison. Little does he know that it's only a front for an escape plan... In Cyrano de Hancock , Sid is besotted with Miss Pugh, and asks for Hancock's help in expressing his love, while The Diary finds Hancock looking back at 1956, and falling into a reverie where he imagines himself as a surgeon, a lion tamer and a test pilot. Finally, in The Impersonator, Hancock hears an actor in a cornflake commercial imitating his voice, and promptly takes the impersonator to court.
Once again, the master of misery is supported by a star cast including Sid James, Bill Kerr, Kenneth Williams and Hattie Jacques , and four sparkling scripts by the masters of mirth. Galton and Simpson.
