Hancock's comedy timing vastly improves if you play this at 1.5 speed

Amazing this Australian tv show was recorded in colour considering regular colour tv services didn't arrive in Australia until 1975. It was probably one of the many experimental colour tests and recordings that would have gone on there at that time.

Yes it's a real surprise. Although the image quality and appearance of the programme suggest that it was produced on colour video (Channel 7 did have some colour video equipment at the time) I'm told that the programme was actually filmed in the studio on 16mm stock. It's astonishing that the film hasn't degraded over the years. My guess is that Channel 7 produced it in colour with export to Britain in mind since BBC2 was already broadcasting in colour by then and BBC1 and ITV were due to begin the following year.

@@LostsTVandRadio Yes l'm sure that was in their minds, they also had an eye on future proofing it for a time when more and more countries would adopt colour tv. ITV did the same with some of their programmes before they went colour in the UK. Even in the 1950's they shot some episodes of The Adventures of Sir Lancelot in colour primarily for the newly emerging USA colour tv market.

It was Australia's most expensive TV production at the time.

Actually the script's not that bad but his lack of enthusiasm for this project combined with his own illness is apparent

Seeing as it was done in Australia, it would have been perfect for Bill Kerr to be in these final episodes. It might have improved Hancock's performance and maybe even kept him alive. Little things can make big changes. RIP Hancock.

I believe that it wasn't broadcast due to the sad circumstances of Tony Hancock's death during filming. It was years later that the three episodes that had been filmed were edited for video release.

The script is a parody of some of the Galton and Simpson radio material from the 50s. Tony looks old, tired and bored. He is only going through the motions because the truth is, that when you appeared in Australia back then, you were finished in the UK. So this was a last throw of the dice for him. He must have seen the futility of the project and as a consequence took his own life. A sad ending for a great comedian.
