Good? This is red hot, this is, mate! It's time for sending out the latest edition of The Missing Page, our full colour members newsletter, 70 years after HHH moved to TV. Plus news, reviews and articles on all things Hancock. Join us in The Tony Hancock Appreciation Society!

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!

Saturday night, the big night! Pound in your pocket, pint in your hand, and a bird on your arm, the world is yours! If it wasn't for Saturday nights I think I'd go bonkers! #SaturdayNight

Juror: I can't stop here for ever, I've got a farm to run, crops to get in Tony: Well thats charming isnt it? You're prepared to send a man to jail for 15 years so that you can get your spuds in? The equation of human kindness, 15 years in jug equals two ton of King Edwards!

Bill: It was a great show Tub, boy I've never heard such laughs from an audience before Tony: No show on the air gets bigger laughs than we got. Genuine laughter tonight, no prompting, genuine honest to goodness laughter Bill: Yeah, well put your trousers on, let's go home!

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: This is us, look. "A man's job" Bill: Sounds like hard work Tony: No, no, its the police force. "If you are between 19-30, 5ft 9 or over in good health, why not join the police force"! Bill: I'll tell you why not. We're over 30, under 5ft 9 and your back's playing up!

H-H-Happy birthday Hancock's Half Hour! Today is the 70th anniversary of HHH moving to television #OTD 6 July 1956. In the days before recording was possible, shows went out live and if you missed it, hard luck! The earliest to survive is The Alpine Holiday from the second series

How have you got all these books? How many tickets have you got? Two fiction, two non-fiction That's four tickets, there's ten books here Well, Dolly was on last time Do you mean Miss Hargreaves? She may be Miss Hargreaves to you, but to people she reckons, she is Dolly!

Sid: Oh cor blimey, I don't understand you people. What's the point of worrying about money. Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we snuff it. You know my philosophy, if you've got it, spend it, if you haven't got it, get it! #TheEconomyDrive

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

Sid: Look, you asked me what I thought about your 'ooter and I told you, it's a rotten one Tony: Oh is it? Well, yours isn't exactly a gem of architectural beauty. Look at it, throbbing away there! Sid: Are you asking for a punch up the bracket? #TheNewNose

Sid: Come on East Cheam, get stuck in. Jump on him! Kick him! Foul, foul! Tony: Where? What happened? Sid: Didn't you see that? He was just going to kick the goalie and somebody tripped him up! #EngDRC

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!

Me only other trade is tram driving. There's not much demand for those in London. Of course, I was redundant when the trolly buses came in. I was alright on swinging the 'ole brass 'andles, but the steering wheel and no lines to help you out I was coal boxed rightaway!

Company boss (Peter Sellers): Well, now Mr Hancock, let's see how you got on with our intelligence test. Aye, you seem to have got just over half of the little wooden blocks in the right holes Tony: I'd have got more in if me hammer and chisel hadn't broken! #TheMarriageBureau

Do you live far? Just up the road You’ll get a bus then will you? No I think I’ll walk You haven’t got far to go then? No just up the road Well it’s not worth it then really is it Not really Oh. Well I’ll say cheerio then Yes. Cheerio. Look after yourself Yes. And you.

Tony: I'm taking up astronomy Bill: Not another 5 minute craze! The other week it was matchbox tops & cheese labels, then you spent £200 breeding tropical fish - what happened to them? Tony: The thermostat in the tank went wrong. Still they were alright with chips weren't they!

Oh you temptress, oh you voluptuous Jezebel! My Aphrodite, what carnal desires did you stir in the breasts of helpless men? If ever a devil was born without a pair of horns, it was you Jezebel, it was you! Gor, I've got a winner 'ere mate! #TheRebel

Tony: I would have been playing still but I had to give up Sid: Get injured? Tony: No, no. It was when they did away with the long shorts. We had to show our knees. Well, I wasn't having that. 50,000 people laughing their heads off! It wasn't worth 20 quid a week! #EngCro

Air Marshall (JLM) : Has anyone pressed the button? Tony: Do you know we never thought of that! Dear oh dear, the military mind, of course we've pressed the button! What do you think we've been doing, trying to pull it up by the rope!" #TheLift First broadcast #OTD 16 June 1961

Tony (schoolboy): I'll try jolly hard to make myself a credit to you and pater Hattie (mother): Ooh, your father would have been proud to see you now, he worked hard so that he could send you to a school like this Tony: Yes, what a pity he got caught! #TheOldSchoolReunion

Dr: Two grown men behaving in such an idiotic fashion! Man: I'm terribly sorry, but this man is trying to provoke me Girl: Yes, that's true. He is. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, a man of your age! Tony: I'm not a man of my age, I'm more a man of his age!

Remembering the wonderful Bill Kerr born #OTD 10 June 1922. Bill was one of a gang of comedians who rose through the radio ranks in the late 40s and early 50s, joining the radio Hancock's Half Hour in 1954 appearing in every episode bar one. His laughter off mic is a joy to hear!

The Palais? That's were they do all that modern dancing isn't it? Well, I'm sorry, I'm having no part in those sort of goings-on. I don't mind the lancers or an occasional gavotte,where you hold the young lady at a respectable distance, but I'm having none of this close-up work!

Tony: Saturday night, the big night! Pound in your pocket, pint in your hand, and a bird on your arm, the world is yours! If it wasn't for Saturday nights I think I'd go bonkers! #SaturdayNight

Tony: Come on now, man, you're cooking with gas now! Hugh: Pardon? Tony: Johnny Oxford, that's what he says in the book. I believe it's a phrase employed when one is being favourably impressed with the prowess of another chap! #TheMissingPage

Kenneth (Doctor) : Alright then, the first thing is to weigh you. Have you got a penny? Tony: A doctor’s office shouldn’t have scales like that. You should have one with weights Kenneth: Well, if you’d rather, we can soon pop down to the greengrocers, he won’t mind!

Sid? Murder me? Absurd! What are the facts? Sid has set his heart on a fish and chip shop. He's asked me if I will lend him the money. I have refused and he's reading about perfect murders. Do you really think that is enough evidence? Well it's good enough for me mate, I'm off?

Tony: I suppose I must lead what the social workers call a full life. The world is my oyster! I can dip in & have a basinful of anywhere I fancy. Ooh, these headphones don't half make your ears hot. Dear oh dear, like two braised chops under there they are! #FridayNightWasHancockNight

Tony : What say we men all adjourn to the parlour for a quick drag? Kenneth (vicar): I beg your pardon? Tony: Oh, I’m sorry, I lapsed into the vernacular, an unfortunate habit one picks up mixing with the proletariat. What I meant was, would you care to partake of a snout?

Miss Pugh: Well, well, look who it is, the oldest Teddy Boy in Cheam! I do believe your clothes get more repulsive every time I see you Sid: Do you mind, let us in, there's a wind out here Miss Pugh: Well it couldn't get up those trouser legs! #TheNewRadioSeries
