Hancock's latest profession, that of a lawyer, looks like coming to an end, after losing ten straight cases, he's given one final chance, he's less than pleased to discover his client is Sid, who has 58 charges against him.
Classic, I'm so grateful that this episode exists, when you read through the various episode synopsis, this one really does stand out. It's always wonderful to see what project Hancock is involved in, I was not expecting to see him as a Lawyer.
There's that wonderful scene where Hancock riles up The Desk Sergeant, receiving fine after fine, comedy gold.
No episode highlights the sheer, absolute brilliance of Tony Hancock better than this one. His performance is outstanding, from that first moment where he gives evidence against his own client, to his efforts to defend Sid.
A terrific cast, look out for John le Mesurier, Hugh Lloyd, Arthur Mullard and the most marvellous turn from Bill Fraser, who was tremendous.
9/10.
