Hancocks Half Hour Surviving TV Shows

Hancock's (TV) Half Hour & Hancock (All Surviving TV Episodes)

I purchased all the single "Hancock Half Hour" DVD releases. The final episode "The Succession - Son and Heir" wasn't released as a single DVD but made available only in the boxset release. I finally got the boxset cheap, so here they all are, all surviving TV episodes plus "Hancock In Australia" (In Colour).

Note: Series 1 to 6 of "Hancock's Half Hour" were recorded live using the telecine technique. Series 7 was recorded & edited on video tape and broadcast at a later time. So please understand that it's once again a case of WYSIWYG.

- Hancock In Australia (In COLOUR)***

*** In 1992 "Hancock: The Australian TV Series in Colour" was released, compiled from the three or so episodes of the 1968 Australian series completed before Hancock's death. The series was shot using an experimental colour film process, (Australia didn't get colour TV until 1974), and as a result some colour variation exists in some scenes. Sadly without the UK writing team of Ray Galton and Alan Simpson it's entertaining. but not particularly funny.
