Count Arthur
Tuesday 21 December
The Missing Hancocks
6.30pm-7pm
The Missing Hancocks recreates those episodes of the classic Hancock's Half Hour that have been wiped or lost from the archive.
Count Arthur Strong is to return for a brand new special Christmas Day broadcast of Count Arthur Strong’s Radio Show! on BBC Radio 4.
In the words of Count Arthur, 'Christmas isn't just about charity, it is about baby Judas riding a donkey'. To celebrate in style, Arthur heads to the pound shop for his Christmas gifts.
BBC Radio has revealed their Christmas and New Year highlights. They include a Count Arthur Strong special, a new all-star version of Spike Milligan's classic Puckoon, Asian comedy, John Shuttleworth, shows featuring Matt Lucas, Joe Lycett and cult comedian John Kearns hosting a special Christmas Day show.
You’re Dead to Me Christmas Special
Arthur returns to BBC Radio 4 with a celebratory Christmas special of the long-running comedy sitcom. The former variety star gets the opportunity to audition for a Christmas production of Bedknobs and Broomsticks. What could possibly go wrong?
Count Arthur Strong is returning to panto this winter.
He is appearing in Aladdin at the Richmond Theatre alongside Christopher Biggins, Issy Van Randwyck and Rikki Jay.
Last year he appeared at the Palladium playing Baron Hardup in Cinderella alongside Paul O’Grady, Nigel Havers and Julian Clary.
It's been a while since the last Count Arthur Strong series but the third run does not mark a significant change. Which is a Good Thing. Our befuddled hero (Steve Delaney) is still as hapless as ever, putting his foot in it at every opportunity and making life hard for long-suffering Michael (Rory Kinnear). The script, by Delaney and Graham Linehan (who also directs) is neatly plotted and regularly punctuated with laugh-out-loud humour. If you like your gags silly you have come to the right place.
A third series of Count Arthur Strong has been commissioned by the BBC. Following the sucess of the first series on BBC2, the second series moved to BBC1 this year with the Count getting into more confusion and slapstick scrapes.
Posting the news on Twitter, Count Arthur said in his typically eccentric style: "It's my very great delight to announce that BBBC1 in their finite wisden have commissioned a 3rd series of CountArthur Strong. End of."
A ridiculous comedy character standing for election? No, not Al Murray’s Pub Landlord, but Steve Delaney’s Count Arthur Strong, who this week is so annoyed about the street noise waking him up in the night he decides to seize the reins of power so that he can do something about it himself.
