Hello again to my fellow travellers down Memory Lane. I hope you are all holding onto the wreckage as the end of lock down is now hopefully in sight and the pub garden beckons. This week I take you back to Elstree Studios in 1960 as the facility was busy with a number of films and many stars. On the home grown front Tony Hancock was in front of the cameras making The Rebel. During the 1950s he had become a very popular star first on radio and then television so progression to the big screen was the next step. Alas, in his private life Tony was not a happy soul and was a heavy drinker which did not mix well with his depressive illness. A few years later he sadly committed suicide in a lonely hotel room in Australia.
