More than 30 years after his death Tony Hancock is still
celebrated as one of the greats of British comedy. He has the
distinction of being known simply by his surname
—Hancock. The word defined not only the man but his
art.The huge fame which Hancock enjoyed —and
abhorred —was as short-lived as his own success. After
seven years on radio and television there was nowhere left for
him to go. A form of megalomania took over.One of the great
sadnesses of Hancock’life was that he could not enjoy
the ups and downs of show business. To be accepted, and to
be loved, and give such happiness to people and still
repeatedly turn the dagger on himself was a real tragedy.In
this in-depth biography, Cliff Goodwin explores
Hancock’desperation to achieve perfection in comedy
and his depression as a result of his perceived failure.
Hancock’career slowly spirals in a whirl of alcoholism,
womanising and scandal. Using a wealth of previously
unpublished new material, Cliff Goodwin reveals at last the
man behind the myth.Praise for Cliff Goodwin‘Clff
Goodwin has written an excellent and unsparing
biography’-Sunday Independent‘Godwin gives
us the full picture of Hancock’life …in a serious,
analytical way …this is not just a story about a comedian
it encompasses the universal themes of madness and
mortality.’- Scotland on Sunday‘#8230
everything you ever wanted to know about a comic
genius’- Irish TimesCliff Goodwin has worked as a
reporter, feature writer and sub-editor for various newspapers
and magazines. His coverage of the 1988 Lockerbie air crash
earned him a regional press award. In 1993, after 25 years in
journalism, he decided it was time to concentrate on full-time
writing. He is also the author of To Be A Lady –a
biography of Catherine Cookson.
