Missing Hancock
9 May 2024 07:03 pmI accidentally ran across another 'Missing Hancock' episode on the radio this evening: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000cp2n
I remember stumbling across one of these before; they are very well done, so much so that I really couldn't have told that it wasn't the original cast, and -- as I remembered -- a *great* deal funnier than the later TV series. Less self-indulgent (or rather Hancock-indulgent) I think, being much more of a team effort, and of course it's simply much more my type of humour, revolving around wordplay rather than cringe-making humiliations. Here I actually laughed out loud a couple of times at the clever script, and generally enjoyed myself.
Nice to know at least that I wasn't imagining that I did indeed find Hancock funny in the past...
