No Hattie Jacques (and repeated episodes)
I was a little confused when I started playing series 6, as I was hearing what I thought were episodes repeated from earlier series, and I was right. Series 6 contains some earlier episodes that had been “re-scripted”, and apart from these repeated episodes, there is no Hattie Jacques, which, for me, was a real disappointment. Must admit, as much as I loved Kenneth Williams in the Carry On movies, I just do not like him in these radio series. His nasal voice is grossly over-exaggerated, which I found to be off-putting. However, this series is a good one and it was a shame the radio series ended. I must now try out the “lost” episodes.

Last of the Hancock's 😣
Having listened to the last Hancock series I can see why it was time to move on. It just wasn't the same without Hattie Jacques and Kenneth Williams. It went out with a great episode though.
