For the half-hour comedy spot today I will feature another in the Hancock's Half-Hour series of radio comedy shows.
This one was first broadcast by the BBC on the 8th. December 1959 and is entitled "The Poetry Society" and was the fourth-last of the radio shows, the series ending on the 29th. December 1959.
Hattie Jacques had left the show at the end of the fifth series (June 1959). She had been a regular cast member since 1956.
Kenneth Williams, a regular since the first series aired in 1954, also departed at the end of the fifth series.
So join Tony, Sid and Bill as they delve into alternative culture!
The music for today's Baby Boomer Radio Show will highlight tracks from 1958, 1963 and the 1970s.
NOTE!
I will be featuring two Hancock's Half-Hour shows with Christmas themes during the week before Christmas.
That's Monday morning 17th. and Friday afternoon's show on 21st. December.
