Very Nearly an Armful - A Tony Hancock Podcast

In the final episode of this series Tim, Jon, James and Martin look at the recently found and rebroadcast series two episode A Visit to Swansea, from 1955. The episode features a cameo from Harry Secombe. The podcast team also hear from young member David Twydell at a recent THAS event and producer Dennis Main Wilson, recorded in the 1990s by Dave Miles. They also look at some of the differences between the newly discovered original episode and the 2017 Missing Hancocks re-make, including scripted lines cut from the episode and discuss the missing first two minutes of the recording.
