S3 - E6 Very Nearly an Armful - Sunday Afternoon at Home - Part 1

Very Nearly an Armful - A Tony Hancock Podcast

In this episode, Tim, Jon, Martin and James start their review of the classic radio episode a Sunday Afternoon at home. At approximately 16 minutes into the podcast, the team kick off with the main subject and consider how revolutionary the episode was in its use of pauses and silence and also in the fact that it is a virtually plotless half hour.
The team look at sections of the original script that didn’t make it to the final edit, discuss Kenneth Williams’ brilliant characterisation of Clark and consider, in detail, just how loud Williams’ first ‘moo’ actually was!
In Hancock updates, the four review two brilliant events at The Riverside Studios, where many TV Hancock’s Half Hours were made, as well as the new theatre production of The Lad Himself. We are delighted to include an interview with the star of this brilliant show, Mark Brailsford, in this podcast.
