Quite simply: THE MASTER. God Bless Mr. Hancock. Thank You for all the laughs. I just hope, that you have found the peace and serenity that evaded you in this life.

i vaguely remember this clip online before with someone posting it was filmed on 22nd June 1968, which puts it 3 days before he died and therefore the last thing he ever filmed.

According to the various biographies that have been published, Hancock did make trips to Australia in the years immediately before 1968, for live shows, but it looks as if he is wearing exactly the same clothes as in some scenes in the final series, so I think this may have been one of the last things he ever did. Anyway we are very fortunate to have the chance to see it. Thank you for posting it!

Yeah - depends on whether he made any other visits to Oz between '66 and the last one in '68

Hmm, I'm not sure this dates from his final visit to Australia, simply because in the aborted sitcom he was making at the time of his death in 1968 he looked much older and tired than he does here.
