Sid James on Tony Hancock

Comedy legend Sid James talking about his former colleague and best friend Tony Hancock. Tony broke his successful partnership with Sid at the end of 1960 and, while Sid's career continued to go from strength to strength in the 'Carry On' film series and the TV sitcoms 'George and the Dragon' and 'Bless This House', Tony's career failed to maintain the heights of his 1961 BBC series 'Hancock' and he fell into terminal decline during the 1960's. Tony sadly took his own life in Australia in 1968. This interview with Sid was conducted three years later in 1971 and it's heartening to hear Sid talk with such fondness about his former friend.
