Sheila Hancock – Hancock’s Whole Hour

Award-winning actress and writer Sheila Hancock looks back on her time in rep and starting out in films during the Fifties - with her own special guests and the music she remembers being the soundtrack to her decade.

This show is part of BBC Music: My Generation - a year-long landmark season of programming across BBC TV, Radio and Online charting the history of pop music across the decades, from the mid-1950s to mid-1990s through the memories of the people who were there. The season launches in April with a look at the decade of music from the mid-50s to mid-60s.

As part of the season, BBC Radio 2 is broadcasting Radio 2 50s, a pop-up DAB service on air from Thursday 14 to Sunday 17 April, which will celebrate the music and culture of the 1950s.
