Tony Hancock was a Birmingham-born, Bournemouth-raised English comedian and comic actor who built a career on the London stage and BBC radio in the years immediately following the Second World War, before shooting to stardom as one of the country's most-loved comics in his own hit radio - and later TV - sitcom, Hancock's Half Hour.
