Yes, it's the last week before Christmas and, as previously mentioned, the comedy spots for both today and Friday 21st. will feature Hancock's Half-hour Christmas-themes.
The first of these went to air 56 years ago on the 23rd. December 1956 and is entitled "Hancock's Happy Christmas", with Tony Hancock, Sid James, Bill Kerr, Hattie Jacques and Kenneth Williams - arguably the best cast of all the Hancock series.
The show for next Friday was broadcast on the 25th. December 1958, two years further down the track from that mentioned above and is entitled "Bill and Father Christmas".
This also features the three regular stars and Hattie Jacques but Kenneth Williams is replaced by a young Warren Mitchell, who later gained infamy as the bigoted Alf Garnett in the TV series "Until Death Us Do Part".
The music selections for both shows will include pops and hits across the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies.
NOTE!
I will also be on air in the regular morning timeslot on Christmas Eve, Monday 24th., from 9:00 AM until 12:00 Noon.
