The Cruise

Sid has convinced Hancock to go on a Mediterranean cruise, the aim is to find amorous women, however, Hancock is convinced that the ship is sinking, and that it's hit an iceberg.

Very funny, I loved The Titanic theme, this show never fails to surprise or entertain, and this is yet another memorable and funny episode.

The set is fairly basic, but looks acceptable enough, there just an absence of any sound, a pity we didn't get the odd horn or gull.

I don't recall seeing Hancock losing control to this extent before, I've seen him stressed and worked up, but here he's raging, perhaps he had something of a fear of the sea.

Great to see comedy couple John Le Carre and Hattie Jacques, both are super funny, that scene where she tried to seduce Hancock was brilliant.

All in all, very funny.

8/10.

Sid takes Tony for a cruise. A chance to relax and chat up the women. Something Sid is adept at sea.

Only Tony is bored going round the ship. He is being pursued by an amorous lady (Hattie Jacques.)

Suddenly Tony is overtaken by panic. He is convinced that the ship is in danger. The captain has disappeared. He even makes the other passengers panic.

Eventually the ship's doctor has to sedate him. Sid has to couch to look after his friend.

It took a while for the episode to get going. It finds it groove when the ship's captain (John Le Mesurier) tries to talk sense to Tony.

Then there is the later party as Tony tries to avoid the advances of the amorous lady who wants to dance with him.
