The Blackboard Jungle

In this episode, we look at the brilliant parody episode The Blackboard Jungle from the third radio series. Lost for decades and only recovered as recently as 2005, the triumvirate of Hancock fans consider how fortunate we are to be able to review an original recording of this episode.  The team review how closely the episode follows the plotline of the film on which it is based, look at the brilliant roles played by both Bill Kerr and Andree Melly and debate, in detail, whether Hancock is wearing a light mac or a brown overcoat. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe to the podcast.
