Starring: Tony Hancock, Sid James

This DVD collection of Hancock's finest half-hours brings together the greatest moments from a much loved comic master - the lad himself. Featuring Sid James, and with scripts by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson, the series has proved hugely influential.

The Bedsitter - It's a dull day, with Hancock endlessly picking up and setting down "improving" books and failing to watch television. But then the phone rings, and Svengali swings into action...

The Bowmans -When Old Joshua Merryweather is unceremoniously sacked from the Archers-style radio spoof, the station is bombarded with protest letters and so the appalling Joshua is reinstated - leaving Hancock hell-bent on revenge.

The Radio Ham - "Mayday! Mayday!" A radio ham in England - the Lad himself, picks up the desperate messages from a stricken vessel off the coast of Sierra Leone.

The Lift - "Eight persons is eight persons - you'll have to get out," insists the attendant as Hancock barges into a crowded lift. But he won't budge and neither will the lift.

The Blood Donor - "A pint, why that's very nearly an armful!" protests our public spirited hero when he decides to "give so that others may live". But a deposit can all to quickly be followed by a sudden withdrawl.

Extras include: Exclusive interview with Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. Scene selection. Artist profiles.
