In this our longest episode yet, James, Jon, Tim and Martin review the brilliantly surreal radio episode The 13th of the Series and its transcription services remake The 13th of the Month. The team consider how joyous the performances of all the cast are in this episode and how the script sparkles throughout. They also consider Ken’s fantastic performance as Snide (arguably his best appearance in this role) and consider, in detail, the practicalities of taking the Stonehenge stones home each night on a bike! The Fab Four look at the recent BBC radio documentary on the Norwegian version of Hancock’s Half Hour and compare this to the less successful German version; they also celebrate the return of Hancock’s Half Hour to BBC TV as part of their 100th anniversary celebrations. The team get distracted by the role of Arnold’s Ridley in Dad’s Army and his connection with Bath and discuss in detail recent reel to reel tapes received by the Society and the chance of these containing a lost episode. Don’t forget to rate us and subscribe to the podcast. And, if you haven’t done so already, why not join the Tony Hancock Appreciation Society - full details of how to join are at Tonyhancock.org.uk. In the next episode of the series we’ll start our review of the brilliant Christmas episode Hancock’s Happy Christmas. Hope that you’ll be able to join us then.
