Tonight (Thursday), the Century Theatre in Coalville has a production of, Hancock's Half Hour: The Lost Episodes.

From the producers of the critically acclaimed tours of Round the Horne and The Goon Show comes another radio comedy classic live on stage.

In 1954, Tony Hancock burst onto the airwaves of the BBC Light Programme with a comedy show unlike anything the British public had heard before.

Playing a less successful version of himself and surrounded by a cast of fellow comedy greats including Sid James, Hattie Jacques and Kenneth Williams, Hancock's Half Hour was one of the first programmes in the genre we now know as sitcom.

You can find more details HERE.

Next Wednesday sees Coalville CAN in Memorial Square host an evening with Ruth Schwiening, a Kindertransport survivor.

Come along for an inspiring journey through history. Watch Ruth's captivating talk where she shares her life experiences after migrating to the United Kingdom at the age of only three, and how she ignited her artistic talent that she uses to share her story with others.
