Hancock fan Jack Dee presents Tony Hancock: Very Nearly An Armful. Taking its title from celebrated Hancock episode The Blood Donor, this two-hour retrospective features previously unseen scripts, scrapbooks and production files belonging to the lad himself, as well as personal items such as photos and letters.

Very Nearly An Armful also features clips from the Hancock ATV series, made after he split with Galton & Simpson, shown on television for the first time since their broadcast in 1963.
