today that Hancock's 1/2 hour was first broadcast - can't remember that, but now on Radio 2 is a a celebration of one of the best episodes. Worth a listen IMHO!!

Managed to catch part of that program, unfortunately not all of it. Hancock was, and still is very funny.

If you like Hancock, I'd recommend listening to "Getting Nowhere Fast", which begins a repeat of its third series on Radio 4 at 6.30 this evening. <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.mervynstutter.com/>Mervyn Stutter</A>, who writes and stars in it, is rather like a modern-day Tony H. and his target audience ("Menopausal Flower Children Everywhere") should strike a chord amongst some of those assembled here. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Recorded live before a partisan audience at the Theatre Royal Winchester! Great stuff.

All right, I confess: he's a mate. But listen anyway.

You can tell your mate that I thoroughly enjoyed it. I listened to the show in the car during a 4 hour search for a hotel in Manchester.

I'll study the MU fixture list for next week's visit. /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif

Glad you enjoyed it. I think he's under rated - but then, like I say, he's a mate.

The hotel hunt sounds like a real bummer. Have to admit that we don't often get accommodation problems caused by mid week International club games in Southampton /forums/images/icons/smile.gif.
