Description

A phenomenally successful ten years later, Galton and Simpson were themselves very well known names. Tony Hancock had felt that the problem with Williams's character (nicknamed Snide) was that he simply didn't feel real, and after appearing in well over thirty episodes had ended up repetitive; a catchphrase-riddled cliché. Frankie Howerd reflected on his passing: "I do not think he died simply because his career had slipped. But Hancock soon encounters difficulties in the local self service café, and the stairs at home prove problematic as well! The first show, “The Last of the McHancocks” is a good opener, although most of the humour relies on some sense of Scotland and the Scottish ‘character’ (filled with rather funny stereotypes of course so not for the sensitive Scot).

In fact, long as these records and tapes exist and are listened to, it's just as if they were still with us.Railway Cuttings is a scene of boredom and inactivity as the occupants try to while away a British Sabbath in 'Sunday Afternoon at Home'.

Hugh Lloyd and Patrick Cargill, although well-known light comedy actors, just weren't of the same calibre or popularity. In this one, Tony is left a Scottish castle by his deceased uncle McHancock, and when he goes to claim it, he ends up doing battle with Seamus McNasty in the Highland Games.

In a 2013 BBC documentary where Ben Miller explored the life of Hancock, his own comedy hero, Galton and Simpson informed him that neither party saw their parting as permanent, although the precise nature of their split was not on the most diplomatic of terms.
