Two recently rediscovered episodes of the classic radio series, plus a duo of bonus programmes from the BBC archive
| The Blackboard Jungle | 23 November 1955 |
| The New Secretary (original version) | 11 November 1956 |
| In Conversation With... Galton and Simpson | 16 August 2001 |
| Six Characters in Search of an Answer: Tony Hancock | 26 October 2003 |
Long absent from the BBC archives, these two classic Hancock's Half Hour radio episodes were recently rediscovered, and are presented here for the very first time.
The Blackboard Jungle sees Hancock playing a young English master, attempting to tame a class of unruly pupils. Can he win their respect - or will he be distracted by an attractive female teacher? In The New Secretary , Hancock decides his life is in a mess, so Sid suggests he get a secretary to organise him: ideally a blonde, Anita Ekberg lookalike. But they are both very surprised by who turns up.
As ever, the master of misery is supported by a star cast including Sid James, Bill Kerr, Kenneth Williams and Hattie Jacques .
Also included are two programmes from the BBC archive: In Conversation With... Galton and Simpson from 2001 , in which the writers talk about their creation, and Six Characters in Search of an Answer: Tony Hancock from 2003 , which explores the character of Hancock in detail.
Now with the internet audiobooks are a lot more accessible and easier to obtain than normal books, going online for them is quick, simple and saves time that would be other wise spend trawling through stores trying to find one you really want. Many sites offer a few free downloadable introductory titles, to get you started and no doubt hooked on the splendour of them. What better way to spend a Saturday evening than to sit back, relax and enjoy a good audiobook, instead of renting a dvd or stagnating in front of the television. Unlike rentals, they can be kept for life and enjoyed again and again. |
