Tony Hancock needs a job, but can't get one as an unmarried man. Luckily, Sidney James has a proposal.

Between 1954 and 1959, Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Radio recorded 102 episodes of Galton & Simpson's comedy but 20 went missing from the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú archives, and had not been heard since their original transmission… until these faithful re-imaginings.

After a highly acclaimed first series, another five were lovingly re-recorded in front of a live audience at London's Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Radio Theatre.

Written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson
