Tony Hancock was a big star back in the day in the UK. I mean anybody who's into Poetry, I think should hear this Radio show, and it's got a lot of top Quality British comedy actors in this episode - including Fenella Fielding. Tony was depressed and suffering with alcoholism and God knows what and he couldn't remember his lines properly and so while all the other actors in this episode are presenting you know Immaculate professional acting performances he's kind of stumbling through his lines,  Sometimes losing the thread of the meaning of what he was saying, which I don't think really adds anything to it - however it's a great story which was later sort of expanded into his movie The Rebel You know for anybody who's interested in poetry This is funny And it's also funny that the kind of poetry that they're presenting  or satirizing In this program is still being made even in this day and age. This is a British comedy classic for the ages.
