S3 - E5 Very Nearly an Armful - The New Neighbour with Kevin McNally (part 2)

In this episode, Tim, Jon, Martin and Nick (in James’s absence) resume their chat with the brilliant Kevin McNally to review The New Neighbour and The Missing Hancocks more generally. In Part 2 Kevin talks about the wonderful outtakes and adlibs from the radio recordings, some of which made it into the final edits and regales us with the story of taking The Missing Hancocks to the Edinburgh Fringe. He also talks about how a new gag made it into the script of The New Neighbour, the approach the cast took to rehearsals and how the cast remained in character throughout every performance, even between takes. In the usual style in this podcast, Kevin gets distracted and talks about how his Twitter account got its name and listeners will at last know what they can do with the alpha rays coming out of their 1960s television!
