In the last podcast for this series, we look at the final television episode of Hancock’s Half Hour: The Poison Pen Letters.

The gang of three look at the poignancy of this episode, being the final one with Tony and Sid, consider the brilliant supporting cast and, debate in detail, how froate should really be spelt.  The team discuss how good the lighting is in this episode and what inspired Ray and Alan to use Studholme Berkeley as the location for Hancock’s aunt’s farm.
