This CD release was given away free with 'The Oldie magazine but, unlike most free releases, this one came in a plastic case similar to those used for 'singles. The release featured a 10 minute introduction from Barry Cryer in which he introduced each of the 13 extracts contained on the CD which ranged from Round The Horne and The Goon Show to more modern comedies such as Alan Partridge and Dead Ringers. The Hancock 's Half Hour extract was from The American's Hit Town. Lasting for three minutes and forty-seven seconds, the extract starts from when Hattie announces that she is to be married - for the first time!
