Episode 1196
Thursday, 12 February, 2026
🎙 Step back into the Golden Age of British Comedy with Brett’s Old Time Radio Show! This week, we’re rewinding to one of the greatest sitcoms ever broadcast — Hancock’s Half Hour. Written by legendary duo Galton & Simpson, and starring the incomparable Tony Hancock, with Sid James, Bill Kerr, Kenneth Williams, and Hattie Jacques, this show didn’t just make people laugh, it changed comedy forever. Broadcast from 1954 to 1961, Hancock’s Half Hour broke new ground, paving the way for the modern sitcom. From the shabby digs at 23 Railway Cuttings, East Cheam, to Sid’s endless schemes and Hancock’s unforgettable grumbles, the humour is as sharp today as it was 70 years ago. Every Thursday, I bring you a hand-picked gem from the archives, so grab your headphones, pour a cuppa, and get ready to rediscover comedy history the way it was meant to be heard, on the wireless. 👉 Don’t forget to subscribe for more classic radio every week, and share with a friend who loves vintage laughs!  Our links are at dayslikethis.life  #OldTimeRadio #HancocksHalfHour #GoldenAgeOfComedy #ClassicBritishComedy #RadioShow
