They give so much joy to others but weren't able to find their own. Sad.<br /><br />Happy T-Day, D!

We used to listen to him on the radio after Sunday lunch (there used to a rotation of various series ) my Dad wouldn't move from the table until he had listened to Hancock's half-hour! When he moved to TV the first series he made was brilliant, but after that he moved from the BBC and the situations he was in were very contrived and I personally don't think it suited his style and the programmes weren't so popular! So sad when he ended his life! Thanks for this lovely reminder! Belated Happy T Day!

I did see the video about his life though (the 10 min one).<br />Such a shame he went and killed himself. A tortured soul.
