In this episode, James, Tim, Jon and Martin look  at the brilliant radio episode Hancock in the Police.

The episode is a frenetic half hour of classic comedy and the team consider the  incredible contribution of Kenneth Williams, who played no less than five parts in this episode, including arguably his best performance in the character of Snide.  They also look at Hattie Jacques’ vocal dexterity, consider Hancock’s performances in drag as part of his time in the Gang Shows and consider, in detail, how tall you have to be to be six foot two.

The podcast also includes rarely heard extracts from the Apollo Theatre Company’s stage production of this episode where the complete uncut script was used.

As usual, the dynamic four get side tracked, this time with two brilliant events taking place in London in April and the derivation of the term a Charlie!
