The Lad Himself

Work:: The Lad Himself (S1996002574)

Hang-dog 1950's comedian Tony Hancock, after his death in Australia, finds himself in a very familiar limbo, the waiting room from The Blood Donor. Yet again, he is confronted by the same officialdom, red tape, pomposity and bureaucracy in the afterlife that drove him mad in life. During the course of an evening, he manage to alienate vicars, clowns, cleaning ladies, RAF pilots, doctors, nurses, the entire population of Croydon and St. Peter - herself. Not only does he discover that St. Peter is a woman, who bears a startling resemblance to Hattie Jaques, but that God himself is a woman, who may or may not have a beard.
