Hancock's 43 Minutes
Episode 4
Saturday, 20 December, 2025
In this podcast, we look at Hancock’s first television Christmas special from the third series, Hancock’s 43 Minutes. The three musketeers discuss this unusual variety style episode and consider the similarity between the show and much of Hancock’s stage act, look at how Hancock has the audience in stitches whilst doing nothing other than reacting to everything going on around him and consider whether this episode may have proved an inspiration for the Morecambe & Wise shows of the 1970s. Finally, the gang compete to see who shows the most promise for a career dancing on plate glass. Don’t forget to rate 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 www.tonyhancock.org.uk. We are already planning events for 2026, and we’d love to welcome you as a member and see you at our events. In addition, screenings of Hancock’s TV episodes on the big screen continue at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, with the next event to be held on January 31st. We’ll be back with a Winter special. We hope to see you then.
