Hancock Down Under

In March 1968, Tony Hancock, having pretty much burned all his British bridges, went to Australia to produce a 13-episode TV series. Three episodes were filmed and Hancock killed himself 24 June 1968 at the age of 44. The three episodes remained in the can and I don't know if they were ever aired. Since the show was sort of a serial they could seemlessly combine the three episodes into one, which they did, and call it Hancock Down Under. I've added it to Disk 3 of Hancock's Half Hour.
