Hancock: The Blood Donor

HANCOCK THE BLOOD DONOR with THE MISSING PAGE and TWELVE ANGRY MEN By Alan Simposn and Ray Galton Starring TONY HANCOCK Featuring Sid James Anthony Hanocock - the lad himself - in 3 classic shows from his unsurpassable BBC television series. THE BLOOD DONOR Perhaps the best-loved of all Hancock episodes. 'A pint, why that's very nearly an armful!' protests our public-spirited hero when he decides 'to give so that others may live'. And, as with any ordinary bank, Hancock discovers that desposit can be all-too-quickly followed by sudden withdrawal. THE MISSING PAGE The detective story 'Lady Don't Fall Backwards' holds Hancock in its cheap thrall. At whom will Johnny Oxford point the accusing finger? But the last page is missing (prehaps someone lit a fag with it muses Sid). So the intrepid pair embark on a hunt for the killer's identity. TWELVE ANGRY MEN Justice takes a back seat when Sid discovers that jury members who cannot reach an agreement receive 30 bob a day during their deliberations. Hancock is the eloquent foreman, haranguing the good men and the true with tear-jerking protestations of the accused's innocence. ©1961 BBC
