Ben Miller on Tony Hancock

Ben Miller explores the extraordinary career of his comic hero, Tony Hancock. Charting Hancock's rise from amateur comedian in Bournemouth to stardom in radio, television and film, Ben discovers a restless perfectionist whose comic gifts were matched only by his talent for self-destruction. Featuring classic clips from Hancock's Half Hour, interviews with collaborators and friends, rare photographs and archive, and Ben's own personal favourite Hancock moments, the film is a tribute to one of Britain's best-loved stars.
