The first great British TV comedy, Hancock has proved to be a blueprint for the British sitcom with its hapless central character's refusal to admit defeat despite his catalogue of failure.

The 1961 series shed Sid James and saw a move from East Cheam to Earl's Court but if anything was even funnier, featuring classics like The Blood Donor and The Bedsitter.
