23 Railway Cuttings, East Cheam, gets you down after a bit. In 1957, when this programme was first broadcast, there were still quite a few red bits on the map - so many, in fact, that Hancock has quite a job choosing which bit to emigrate to. He has quite a job getting there, too, but that's the story of tonight's classic comedy repeat.
