The Matador
Tony uses Sid's travel agency to book a holiday in Spain, little knowing that Sid also runs a bullfighting business.
Between 1954 and 1959, 主播大秀 Radio recorded 102 episodes of Ray Galton and Alan Simpson's comedy classic Hancock's Half Hour. The first modern sitcom, it made stars of Tony Hancock, Sid James and Kenneth Williams, and launched Galton and Simpson on one of the most successful comedy-writing partnerships in history. But 20 episodes of the show are missing from the 主播大秀 archives, and have not been heard since their original transmission nearly sixty years ago. Now, five of those episodes have been lovingly re-recorded in front of a live audience at the 主播大秀 Radio Theatre, featuring a stellar cast led by Kevin McNally as The Lad Himself.
