Good evening.
I've just purchased a CD with sixty-two episodes of Hancock's Half Hour for £1.99 postage free.
The chap selling them on eBay seems to specialize in this type of old radio show, but I was wondering how he possibly made it worth the effort. When one considers the price of a stamp, envelope, disc etc, there surely can't be much profit in such an endeavour.

I'm afraid I succumbed to auction fever.
Aside from the Tony Hancock audiobooks mentioned above, I also purchased 150 episodes of The Twilight Zone; 88 episodes of The Saint with Vincent Price; 45 Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot stories; a collection of Dick Bartons and eleven episodes of Much Binding in the Marsh with Kenneth Horne.
The whole lot cost £12.50.

Would be better if Journey Into Space and The Clitheroe Kid were in it.
I got Journey into space (on tape) from the library a few years ago.
A little before my time but still a good listen. Perhaps you could try there.
What I would love to get hold of is a shed load of 'I'm sorry I haven't a clue'.
Again I got a few from the Library, but only maybe a dozen episodes. It's been running for years.

The Clitheroe Kid is a brilliant radio show. Has he got that?
For what you spent, you could have got the complete dvd collection of Hancock issued by the BBC.

I have the complete (episodes the BBC havent deleted) HHH Tv series on DVD in a lovely box set.
I find the Sid/Tony dynamic much more appealing without the Aussie guy and fat lass clogging things up.
I said the same on here recently about Sid/Tony. Shame he blew it though later, because the ones without Sid are patchy, although the Blood Donor has become his most famous. Aussie guy Bill Kerr, who was also in The Dambusters as Micky Martin, is still going strong at about 92. Kenneth Williams was brilliant in most things, but he almost ruins HHH for me.
