The Blood Donor - Perhaps the best loved of all Hancock episodes. 'A pint, why that's very nearly an armful!' protests our public-spirited hero when he decides 'to give so others can live'. And, as with any ordinary bank, Hancock discovers that the deposit can be all-too-quickly followed by sudden withdrawal.

The Missing Page - The detective story 'Lady Don't Fall Backwards' holds Hancock in it's cheap thrall. At whom will Johnny Oxford point the accusing finger? But the last page is missing (perhaps someone lit a fag with it muses Sid). So the intrepid pair embark on a hunt for the killer's identity.

Twelve Angry Men - Justice takes a back seat when Sid discovers that jury members that cannot reach agreement receive 30 bob a day during their deliberations. Hancock is the eloquent foreman, haranguing the good men and true with tear-jerking protestations of the accussed's innocence.

The Lift - 'Eight persons is eight persons - you'll have to get out' insists the attendant as Hancock barges into the crowded lift. But he won't budge and neither will the lift. A captive audience has to endure a succession of wartime stories, tasteless wisecracks and banal party games.

THE Ladies' Man - Hancock's success rate with the opposite sex has reached baffling new depths, so it's 100 guineas slapped on the counter of the Mayfair Charm School and waltzing lessons with Arthur Mullard. Marvellous fantasy sequences show the 'new' man in stylish action with the ladies.

Lord Byron Lived Here - The discovery of Byron's 'odes' scribbled beneath the peeling wallpaper or Railway Cuttings enables Hancock to open his house as a stately home. There's a small fortune to be made from Americans hoping to snap up the great poet's actual typewriter and shaving mug.

The Bowmans - An everyday story of Old Joshua Merryweather, unceremoniously sacked from the cast of the Archers spoof. It looks like a lean spell in the pilchards ads, until the protest letters flood in. So the appalling Joshua's undreamed of popularity sees him written hastily back into the scripts. And Hancock returns to the Bowman's studio bent on revenge...

The Two Murderers - The miser thwarts the would-be entrepreneur: Hancock refuses Sid a loan to turn Mabel's Fish and Chip Parlour in El Fish and Chippo. But would Sid resort to murdering Hancock for his life-savings? Would Hancock really batter his best friend for a fish and chip shop?

The Crown v James S - The case against Sid looks open-and-shut - 224 witnesses saw him chuck the brick through the jeweller's window. Hancock, the world's worst lawyer, delivers a brilliant defence. It's the only case the hapless advocate has ever won, but the scales of justice tip against Hancock in the end.

The Radio Ham - 'Mayday! Mayday!' A motor yacht is holed beneath the waterline off the coast of Sierra Leone. The good news for the stricken vessel is that it's desperate messages have been picked up by a keen radio ham in England. The bad news is that it's the lad himself at the receiving end.

The Economy Drive - Sid forgets the pre-holiday domestic cancellations. So there are crates of milk bottles on the doorstep; a bale of papers on the mat; a rock-hard mountain of farmhouse loaves at the back door and a red-hot television that's been left on for three months. It's cut-back time but false economies prove disastrous.

The Cold - Hancock coughs and splutters his way though the sixth cold of the winter - presiding over a veritable chemist's shop of pills and potions. But none of the medications - nor Mrs Cravatte's less-orthodox curatives - seems to do the trick. Perhaps it's time for Sid's more robust remedies?
