Prime Minister Hancock
The Lad fails in his quest to become an MP. But in his dreams he's swept to power as Prime Minister! Stars Kevin McNally.
The Missing Hancocks recreates those episodes of the classic Hancock's Half Hour that have been wiped or lost from the archive.
The first modern sitcom, Hancock's Half Hour made stars of Tony Hancock, Sid James and Kenneth Williams, and launched Ray Galton and Alan Simpson as one of the most successful comedy-writing partnerships in history.
But 20 episodes of the show were missing from the 主播大秀 archives, until four highly successful series lovingly reimagined them before a live audience at the 主播大秀 Radio Theatre.
In this recreation: The Lad stands for Parliament, with no success whatsoever.
But in his dreams he's swept to power on a landslide, and the country salutes... Prime Minister Hancock.
Written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson.
