Face to Face: Tony Hancock
Feb 17, 1960Tony Hancock engages in self-reflection, looking back at his childhood, his need to work, his health issues, and whether he could ever truly be happy. The program is believed to have played a role in his eventual downfall by amplifying his proclivity for self-criticism. During the interview, John Freeman posed probing questions about Hancock's life and career. Despite his admiration for the interviewer, Hancock seemed uneasy but responded candidly. Known for his inherent self-critical nature, it is frequently posited that this interview intensified that trait, ultimately contributing to his subsequent challenges. According to Roger, Hancock's brother, "It was the most significant misstep he ever took. I believe it all stemmed from that moment. Self-analysis - that became his undoing.

Hancock's Half Hour
Jun 30, 1961Hancock's Half Hour is a BBC radio comedy, and later television comedy, series of the 1950s and 60s written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. The series starred Tony Hancock, with Sid James; the radio version also co-starred, at various times, Moira Lister, Andrée Melly, Hattie Jacques, Bill Kerr and Kenneth Williams. The final television series, renamed simply Hancock, starred Hancock alone.
Comedian Tony Hancock starred in the show, playing an exaggerated and much poorer version of his own character and lifestyle, Anthony Aloysius St John Hancock, a down-at-heel comedian living at the dilapidated 23 Railway Cuttings in East Cheam.
The series was influential in the development of the situation comedy, with its move away from radio variety towards a focus on character development.
