Ten years ago today (4th April 2016), I was at BBC Scotland in Glasgow watching the recording of Hancock's Half Hour - The New Neighbour starring Kevin McNally, Katy Wix, Jon Culshaw, Robin Sebastian and Kevin Eldon.

"One and ninepence ha'penny?
I should have more than that on a Wednesday.
Cigarettes, half a pint of bitter last night; dinner, sweet and a cup of tea today, 1/11d.
This cost of living is getting ridiculous. Break into half a crown and there's nothing left!"

Tony: What an exhibition, sheer unadulterated piggery! What a way to abuse a cakehole! How you can sit there and stuff like that on Boxing Day after what you shovelled yesterday and the day before is beyond my comprehension!

Tony: How much does the jackpot stand at this year?
Sid: 4 nicker exactly, there's a bit of luck eh?
Tony: A bit of luck! He cooks it, stays up half the night segregating it, and he says "A bit of luck!"

Tony: Hello, hello, there goes Mrs Biggs. There she goes, look, up to the old Hand and Racquet.
She'll be there til chucking out time. "I'll have a small treble gin please, dear".
I got caught one year, I'll never ask 'er again!

#TonyHancock: Shall we have a window down?
Passenger: Windows in planes do not open. This is a pressurised cabin. If a window's opened, the plane would explode!
Hancock: Well, that's bad workmanship old man. Never had this trouble with the old Tiger Moth!

Sid: You know that horse I told you to put 30 quid on? That cast iron, dead cert, can't lose, sure fire, odds on favourite, the one you said wouldn't win?
Tony: Well?
Sid: It didn't, you owe me 30 nicker!

"I suggest to you there is some element of doubt in this boy's guilt.
As Shakespeare said in The Merchant of Vienna, when Portion accused Shylock Holmes of pinching a pound of meat, "The quality of mercy is not strained..."

Tony: Well there we are then Harry, how much on these empties then?
Harry: That's not mine for a start. Neither is that one.
Tony: How do you know, how do you know? I took the lab....I mean there's no labels on them!
