The final release for 2001 saw the first standard album release of Hancock's Half Hour on BBC CD. Called Hancock's Happy Christmas, the release was a duplicate of an audiocassette release of the same title, which was first released in 1999. Featuring Hancock's Happy Christmas, The Christmas Club, Bill and Father Christmas and The Diary, the three-page booklet included adverts for the first 3 Hancock boxsets, Fawlty Towers and The Goon Show and also included a brief biography of Tony Hancock. The tracks were each identified by the first line of dialogue from the track and so avoided the problems with the earlier WH Smith release, where errors crept in to the track names. This was the last CD release to duplicate an earlier audiocassette release. All future CD releases coincided with the audiocassette release.
