'I left the show with my eyes as moist as oysters. Brilliant' (Mail on Sunday). Powerful and moving, the legendary comedian's disintegration during his final hours in a hotel bedroom in Australia. Hancock's career had made him the most famous comedian of his day, millions tuned in to listen to Hancock's Half Hour both on the radio and TV. But like many clowns his private life was a disaster. Attempting to resurrect his fading career in Australia, Hancock finally cracks, writes a note to his mum and takes his own life.
