Hancock's Half Hour: Specials

The Ballet Visit

8:30 pm
Sunday, 18 January 1959

This transcription Services version is a remake of 'The Bolshoi Ballet', Episode 2 of the 4th series. In this version, the script is rewritten so that the ballet in question is referred to as the Covent Garden Ballet, to avoid references to The Bolshoi Ballet, which was visiting Britain at the time of the original broadcast in 1956. There is also less detail as to where in Central London the queue extends to.

Broadcast on Sunday at 18:30 with no repeat

Cast Tony Hancock, Sidney James, Bill Kerr, Hattie Jacques and Kenneth Williams
