The New Secretary

Hancock's Half Hour: Season 4

The New Secretary

4:00 pm
Sunday, 11 November 1956

Hancock's paperwork is in a muddle and he decides that he needs a Secretary to sort it out. He puts an advert in the local paper which sets out his very specific requirements but he ends up with the incompetent Grizelda Pugh who makes a complete mess of his correspondence.

(with Alan Simpson and Hattie Jacques joins the cast). Wiped by the BBC and missing from the archives for many years, an excellent quality reel-to-reel off-air tape recording was discovered in 2003/ 2004 and the episode has subsequently been restored to the archive.
