Tony Hancock. Tony's TV set has broken down. Appalled at the idea of a TV - less evening, he and Sid try various ruses, including joining a family who are so intent on their TV that they don't notice the intruders
Channel: Comedy

Feb 2, 2009 - it's good because it strikes at the phoney 'intellectuals' who purport to hardly ever watching tv.

Feb 5, 2009 - So glad I found this. It's wonderful to see these again. And now I have my 11-year old roaring his head off with laughter. The old classics still are the best. Thanks for supplying them.

Jun 16, 2009 - At 5:28 - "I'll do that again" That's hilarious, they actually left it in there. I suppose it was too much trouble to do the whole thing again.

Sep 19, 2009 - Well this thing was broadcast live I presume, considering when he says "Hhhhancock's half hour" at the beginning, his coat is the same as in the first scene. This is the same for many episodes.
