The Trial of Father Christmas
Hancock鈥檚 Strolling Players鈥� cautionary tale of Christmas as it might be. Stars Kevin McNally. 1955 episode re-recorded in 2015.
The Anthony Hancock Strolling Players present a cautionary tale of Christmas as it might be.
Between 1954 and 1959, 麻豆社 Radio recorded 102 episodes of Galton and Simpson's classic sitcom Hancock's Half Hour. But 20 went missing from the 麻豆社 archives, and had not been heard since their original transmission鈥� until these faithful re-imaginings.
After a highly acclaimed first series, another five were lovingly re-recorded in front of a live audience at London's 麻豆社 Radio Theatre.
