Tony: Oh, by the way, thanks for the bottle of Slivovitch Belgrade voice: Oh, you received it Tony: Yes, very good. I had a sore throat for a fortnight! There's a crate of stout in the post, I hope you like it! #TheRadioHam

Oh, it's a very significant film. Makes you think about life and all its implications. It makes you wonder, what are we all doing here? Is it all worthwhile? What is this thing called life all about? Where are we all going? And there's a very good Tweety Pie on with it as well!

Tony: Well, I don't know, but this is most odd. Certainly not like the Sid I know. I wonder what's happened Bill: Perhaps he's got a letter from his granny, you know, they always affect him that way Tony: No, no, no, couldn't be that. She's not out yet! #CyranoDeHancock

Tony: Look, I'm not one of the realist school of art, I'm an impressionist Mrs Crevatte: Well, it don't impress me! #TheRebel

Remembering Ray Galton, born #OTD 17 July 1930. Of all the 160 shows he and Alan Simpson wrote for Tony Hancock, his favourite was The Bowmans. Let's enjoy a clip in his memory. Thanks for the laughter, Ray. "What's this? Joshua falls into the threshing machine?"

Dear Ernie You've never met me but I bought some of your premium bonds and I notice that my numbers have not come up. Have I done anything to offend you because if I have I can only say I apologise and hope you will forgive me. Regards to all at Lytham St Anne's A Hancock Esq

“Are you insinuating that I’m portly?” ‘The Lift’ (1961) classic #Hancock #ThatsTV2 tomorrow 4am. Superbly reviewed & discussed on Tony Hancock Appreciation Society podcast #VeryNearlyAnArmful S2 Ep5, which includes a fascinating interview with Julian Dutton talking about the great #JohnLeMesurier

Nurse: Have you ever given blood before? Tony: Given, no, spilt, yes! There's a good few drops on the battlefields of Europe! #TheBloodDonor

Kenneth (vicar): I do enjoy the personal contacts with my parishioners, I try and visit them in their homes at least once a year. Tony: And why not! Must cut down on the ol' grub bills at home, I always say! #TheUnexplodedBomb

Tony: I can't pass the test! I've been up 73 times and they keep failing me. I just can't get the hang of it. Me feet are too big, that's the trouble. They overlap. I put my foot on the brake, half of it goes on the accelerator as well, and we're off again! #HancocksCar

Kenneth: Dr Clanger told me I was to be your fag Tony: What form are you in? Kenneth: I'm in the first form Tony: How old are you? Kenneth: 27 Tony: How long have you been in the first form? Kenneth: 16 years. Between you and me I'm not very bright! #TheOldSchoolReunion

Tony:  Why didn't you confide in me? Sid: No, it would have been too embarrassing, you'd only laugh. Tony: I wouldn't laugh, what sort of person do you think I am....... #FridayNightWasHancockNight
