  • "The Book As Object in Ray Galton and Alan Simpson's Hancock Half Hour Episode 'The Missing Page'" by Gabriel Egan
    "The book as object in Ray Galton and Alan Simpson's Hancock Half Hour episode 'The Missing Page'" by Gabriel Egan In this essay I will consider how the relationship between an idealized text and its imperfect physical embodiment is explored in a perhaps unlikely corner of English comic history, an episode of the BBC radio and television show Hancock's Half Hour starring Tony Hancock and written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. The episode is called "The Missing Page" and was first broadcast on 11 March 1960 (Galton & Simpson 1960) on BBC television and re-recorded with virtually the same script as an audio performance five years later (Galton & Simpson 1965). Tony Hancock was a music-hall and radio comedian who, in the late 1950s, was offered a BBC television version of his popular radio series Hancock's Half Hour that had begun in 1954. Hancock's eponymous character is a lugubrious and unfulfilled aspirant living in conditions of English post-war austerity, painfully aware of the glamour in the lives of others whom he seeks to imitate. Hancock lives with his friend and minor criminal Sid James in suburban East Cheam, close enough to feel the exotic pull of London but marginal and essentially provincial in outlook. The episode begins with Tony Hancock visiting his local public library in East Cheam, of which he has been a member since childhood and has rather outgrown. The librarian claims there are 25,000 books in the library, but Hancock says that he has read them all and cannot face reading them again.

  • Lord Michael Grade Media CEO and Chairman Media Masters – January 2, 2019 Listen to the Podcast Online, Visit
    Lord Michael Grade Media CEO and Chairman Media Masters – January 2, 2019 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today I’m joined by media executive Lord Michael Grade. Starting his broadcast career at LWT, his roots in variety theatre helped him to bring comedy greats like Bruce Forsyth and Morecambe and Wise to British screens. After three years in Hollywood as president of Embassy Television, he took “the biggest pay cut in history”, returning to the UK in 1984 as controller of BBC1. This “golden period” saw the launch of EastEnders, the purchase of shows including Neighbours and Dynasty, as well as the end of beauty pageants and Doctor Who. In 1985, he worked closely with Sir Bob Geldof on the broadcast of Live Aid, providing a 24-hour live global feed and hundreds of phone lines to accept donations. He spent nine years as chief executive of Channel 4, followed by a portfolio career, before being tempted back to broadcasting by the BBC in 2004 – this time as its chairman – where he was tasked with rescuing their reputation in the aftermath of the Hutton Report. After three years in post, he shocked the media establishment by moving to ITV as its executive chairman. He was awarded a CBE for services to broadcasting in 1988, and was made a life peer by then Prime Minister David Cameron in 2011. Michael, thank you for joining me. Pleasure. Well, Michael, in writing that introduction, we had a really difficult time, actually, because we had to cut out hundreds of things that you’ve done to get the introduction into under 20 minutes.
