Classic comedy
The 1950s radio comedy classic is thought by some to be the birth of modern sitcom. A great listen

Sound issue on a few episodes
Which otherwise spoils a good series. Would recommend as you can still hear if fuzzy compared with the others.

Classic Hancock
Any additional comments?
Classic Hancock. The series was well into it's stride now, with regulars Sid James, Bill Kerr and Kenneth Williams supporting 'the lad 'imself'. The writing is classic Galton & Simpson. The quality of some episodes is 'vintage' (usually episodes recovered from off-air recordings), but it doesn't detract too much from the enjoyment to be had from these episodes. Hancock still stands as a landmark series of radio comedy and is rightly considered a classic.

Fabulous classic radio comedy
Can't ignore the similarities - cast and gags - with the 'Carry On' films of my childhood. Sid James, Kenneth Williams and Hattie Jacques.
A fantastic radio series.
Note error - the final episode, 'The Last of the McHancocks' is repeated at the end
(20 episodes @ 30minutes = 10 hours)

Just class.
Not only funny but a social history of Britain and attitudes in the late 1950s and early sixties.
