The Lawyer: The Crown Vs James

In this podcast, we look at The Lawyer, from the third television series.

'Rumpole', 'Kavanagh' and 'Perry Mason’ don their wigs and discuss the brilliant supporting cast with a special call out for Bill Fraser in his role as the police sergeant. enjoy the fluffs from the cast that come with this programme being broadcast live and consider how many different ‘jobs’ Hancock had during these early television series.  Finally, the team look at Sid’s brilliant reactions to Hancock’s impassioned plea for his innocence and consider, in detail, how Hancock managed to put his car in the car park so quickly.

We are holding an event in London in May where we will be talking to Richard Harrison who discovered two lost Hancock’s Half Hour episodes and our annual dinner will be held in Solihull in September; we’d love to see you at one of our events as a member. In addition, screenings of Hancock’s TV episodes on the big screen continue at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith and we ‘ll be back there on the 27th June when we’ll be showing three more episodes. 

We’ll be back in a couple of weeks when we’ll be looking at the fifth radio series episode The Publicity Photograph as suggested by Richard Brown. We hope to see you then.
