Kenneth (vicar): Now look here, we really ought to put something round it to take the blast if it goes off

Miss Pugh: Coo-ee, the treacle pudding's ready

Tony: There you are, put that round it. A hydrogen bomb wouldn't get through her treacle pudding!

#TheUnexplodedBomb

Mrs Crevatte: Have you been having models up here? Have there been naked women in my establishment?

Tony: Of course not, I can't afford 30 bob an hour. I did that from memory. That is women as I see 'em.

Mrs C: You poor man! Fancy knocking around with women like that!
#TheRebel

Tony: Sid!

Sid: What?

Tony: There's a car behind us

Sid:  So what?

Tony: It's ringing a bell. I wonder what it's doing that for

Sid: Probably selling crumpets

Tony: I shouldn't think he'll sell many doing 80 miles an hour!

“Well of course I know him, yes. Larry, very old friends. Used to play snooker with him.” #Hancock agrees to persuade #SirLaurenceOlivier to open the #EastCheam Garden Fête. Find out if Larry turns up BBC Radio 4 extra BBC Sounds 6.30pm tomorrow #Hancock sHalfHour ‘The Fête’ (1959).

I recommend the set menu, cooked in the English tradition. We start with brown Windsor soup, burnt enough to leave that attractive brown ring round the rim of the plate. Followed by a thin slice of roast beef, submerged in a delicious pool of congealed gravy! #AirStewardHancock

Sid: Why don't you sit down and relax? It's a day of rest. Have a kip or something, anything, but do me a favour and shut up!

Tony Hancock Riverside Studios Really enjoyed the screening and excellent podcast afterwards. Fascinating hearing about the colourisation process and the technological challenges involved.

We're here at Riverside Studios to see the Blood Donor in colour and record a podcast!

Tony Hancock Love this clip. I remember watching that episode with my father when first broadcast and how much he laughed. Still makes me laugh now. Nobody did sarcasm like Hancock and nobody wrote comedy like Galton and Simpson.

Remembering John Le Mesurier, born #OTD 5 April 1912. He and Hancock were friends before the lad invited him to join Hancock's Half Hour, and later both his major films, The Rebel & The Punch and Judy Man. Seen in this clip as an intrepid birdman!

Tickets available, would be great to meet you all!

'Rhesus? They're monkeys aren't they? How dare you! I didn't come here to be insulted by a legalised vampire!'

The Blood Donor in colour on the big screen at Riverside Studios on Saturday 6 April at 2pm with podcast and Q&A.

Judge: I remind you that I'm the judge in this courtroom and as such I can replace you with someone more competent

Sid:Tell him he can't talk to you like that

Tony: My friend says you can't talk to me like that!

Judge: I'm not the slightest interested in what your friend says!

We are at Riverside Studios on Saturday at 2pm to celebrate Hancock's centenary year with a showing of The Blood Donor in colour on the big cinema screen!We'll record a podcast live and host a Q&A. Come and join us at this fabulous venue by the Thames!

Andreè: I didn't know Bill was in The Dambusters

Tony: You're not alone, neither did anyone else. I turned round to ask somebody for a light and he'd been on and gone!

Andreè: What part did Bill play?

Tony: I dunno, the bomb I think, I wasn't looking!

“Lay out my holiday outfit. Straw sandals, Argyle socks, Plus fours, silk shirt and the blazer with the RAF badge on it.” #HancocksHalfHour The 6th & final radio series continues tomorrow on BBC Radio 4 extra & BBC Sounds at 7.30am, 12.30 & 6.30pm with ‘Sid’s Mystery Tours’ (1959).

Tony: Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise

Miss Pugh: When did you last go to bed then?

#TheSleeplessNight

Tony: Here, I've just thought, when do you alter the clocks?

Miss Pugh: Today

Tony: Do you put them forward or back?

Miss Pugh: Er, forward

Tony: Ha ha, that'll get rid of another hour! Quick, give us the clock. There, twenty past three. That's better, soon be Monday!
