Tony Hancock was a legend. Drunk or not he was still a legend. He's far better than the people we have these days, like Ricky Gervais.
-
Tony looks like Bill Wyman with that wig on.
-
Watching the whole show is utterly depressing. It's a disastrous pathetic performance where he simply relied upon an audience willing him to succeed but floundering. Fact was, he had an entire script written for this gig but he couldn't be bothered to learn past the first page so resorted to all his ancient routines. A BBC head wanted to scrap the transmission since he thought it was awful but Hancock got his way so we have this sad document of a the man in terminal decline.

@jackbrazzo Being better than a lot of comics today isn't really a glowing recommendation though. Being fisted by Mr T is funnier than Russell Howard.
-
@jackbrazzo I'm not going to flower up the truth because of a misguided sense on nostalgia over someone who, ultimately, wasn't very good.
-
@withnail555 Nice.
-
@jackbrazzo Yes, written by the peerless Galton and Simpson and nearly ruined by the baggy faced arseflume. Kenneth Williams knew he was a cunt and he knew him far better than you or I.
-
@withnail555 have you actually listened to The Bowmans?
-
@TheDiddlysquat - He's better than a hell of a lot of 'comics' today - I am 33 by the way. His delivery is dry and witty - this wasnt great and he was on the decline - to call him a washed up drunk is a little harsh.
-
The truth is, he was never any good. Not only that but by all accounts, he was a self obsessed pain in the arsehole too.
