Hancock had ideas of becoming the local village squire, and entertains all of the local dignitaries, the problem, is that he's been sold a house at the end of an airfield. The dubious Estate agent, if course, is Sid.
Made in 1957, almost sixty years old, and it's as funny now as it was back then. A mix of slapstick, physical comedy and wonderful one liners, this episode is an absolute winner.
I'm fairly new to Hancock, and I'm really enjoying the format, you have no idea what the situation will be, it's always a little quirky, but there seems to be one common factor, Sid always comes out on top.
Hancock does a great deal of ad-libbing throughout, all with a wry smile on his face, that look on his face when the house starts falling down is an absolute joy. Dick Emery delights also, how the pair managed to keep straight faces as long as they did is quite something.
Watch out for a young Anne Reid, who plays Sid's secretary.
Classic episode, 9/10.
