Hancock's Half-Hour: Ericson the Viking

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson.
This rare yuletide episode of vintage comedy, not seen since its first screening in 1958, features Tony Hancock ruminating about the imminent demise of his acting career. Why did he ever let Sidney (Sid James) persuade him to play a Viking hero in a cut-price swashbuckling epic?
