In Birmingham, on the 12th of May 1924, the performer who was to become one of Britain’s finest comic actors Tony Hancock was born. Across the 1950s and early 1960s, with his phenomenally successful, award-winning radio and television series, Tony was the most famous voice and then face in broadcast entertainment. The streets would empty when Hancock was on the air. To mark the centenary of Tony Hancock’s birth, our BTSWCE guest this time is the closest living relative to “The Lad Himself”. She is the keeper and curator of the Hancock Archive and guardian of Tony’s legacy. An official descendant of British Comedy Royalty - Lucy Hancock.
