S01 E10 - The Rebel (1961)
Listen now
Description
We've reached the magical tenth installment and what better way to round off the regular series than by following our newest film so far, with our oldest. The Rebel from 1961 is the earliest example we've found yet of transporting a character (Tony Hancock) out of his usual environment of 23 Railway Cuttings, East Cheam into new foreign and exotic climes. A blueprint for many, many BritCom adaptations to come. As Guy and Rob discuss, this is not the only thing for which Hancock, Ray Galton, and Alan Simpson set the blueprint. Join us as we talk all things Hancock up to The Rebel, including his beginnings in panto and variety and his most celebrated work, Hancock's Half Hour.
