Hancock's Half Hour

Hancock, Episode 5 - The Blood Donor

Sometimes listed as a separate series altogether but generally considered a continuation of Hancock's Half Hour, this final BBC series saw Tony living alone in an Earls Court bedsit, and the programme running time dropped to 25 minutes - hence Hancock's Half Hour became simply Hancock.
