TH's house, complete with memorabilia, photo's etc, it was a virtual shrine...my gf at the time was Hancock's ex gf's housekeeper.Who, Tony Hancock, Paul Weller or both?
What it say ?The quote on your signature is fantastic. First time I have heard (read) that.
Tony Hancock nearly can.There can't be many other comedians where you can break the name into 4 syllables and sign them out by pointing to body parts....
Something like "If you blow out somebody else's candle it doesn't make yours burn any brighter"What it say ?
He was a destructive individual who drank himself to death. Reads like he got to the stage where he could barely function, handed guests pints of vodka at his parties. Iirc he broke his wife’s nose with a shoe when she was trying to stop him drinking, she ended up trying to kill herself and he had an affair with John le Mesuriers wife after she tried to get him dried outI would like to say he was a genius, but when you listen to his very late stuff, ater he cut his ties with Galton and Simpson, I'm not so sure.

However, his work with the usual cast is timeless. The interplay, and the delivery between the cast members is a joy. So I will go with my heart and say that he was indeed a genius, even if it was only in his interpretation of a script.
Alcohol and mental health issues destroyed him. Watched some of the show he recorded in Australia, wish I hadn't.
He was definitely up there with the best.
Think my dad had the same. 12 inch vinyl with one on each sideIncredibly sad character. Amazingly funny when scripted but hopeless without it. Me Dad loved him, we were brought up on an recording of the Radio Ham and Blood Doner.
