Weekend Viewing: Hancock On Jury Duty

I always liked this episode of Hancock’s Half-Hour  because it’s one of the best takes on a very standard TV plot: the Twelve Angry Men story where the lead character has jury duty, and is the only one who believes the defendant is not guilty. It was written (by the great Ray Galton and Alan Simpson) not long after the real Twelve Angry Men was done, and is a fu parody as well as a good Hancock episode.
