Curse of comedy

[Renard]

Did anyone watch the programme about Tony Hancock 'Hancock and Joan' last night?

Tragic story. Wish I had seen the first one about Steptoe and Son now.

Yes, Ken Stott gave a truly great performance without trying to immitate Hancock's voice.
The support cast were great also. Sensitive performances and direction which will only enhance the reputation of all and this series in particular.

 

[clarion]

Didn't see it, but Ken Stott has just the presence required to inhabit the soul of Hancock.

Are these programmes meant to be an insight into their personal and off-screen lives etc or is it fiction?

The former with just a touch of the latter.
