By the way, in a German Quiz show a question was "What's the title of Muhammed Ali's autobiography?" and this woman answered after a second of hesitation: "Mein Kampf?"

Quote: Gordon Bennett @ January 31 2013, 1:31 PM GMTMy boxset is from 2007. If "fairly recently" means a date after 2007 then that would make the word "complete" useless, even misleading. But I think the essay on the back cover was just hastily written. You know, artists are sometimes confused when it comes to the promotion of their own work.
These audio recordings of TV shows were released in 2009 but I don't know if videos are available - more research required
EDIT: seems there are 37 TV shows plus about half a dozen as audio only

I have this box set. You most probably have the same. I see there are some scripts on it as well; reading them will probably make sense after watching a few episodes.
I haven't figured it out yet in which order one "has to" watch the episodes.
It says 37 on the front cover.

BTW, what exactly means audio only. Surviving audio tracks of the TV shows or the radio shows.

Somebody probably with a reel-to-reel machine just recording the soundtrack off the telly I guess. I used to do that in the late 70s before we got a video.
The list to watch in order should follow this:

Scroll down to the episode list.
Watched the first episode (Alpine Holiday) of Hancock's Half Hour; it was set in a Swiss ski hotel so maybe that is a good omen.

Ask yourself this one simple question, are you a girl? If the answers yes it's ok to buy a chapstick.

I don't even know where to buy one from. I think I might just buy some flesh coloured lipstick instead and hang the naysayers.

A real man wouldn't care what people thought and would just buy a bloody chapstick.

Little hint for guys worried about using lip balm in public - just spread it on your knuckles and punch it onto your face.
