Random House presents the audiobook edition of Ikigai by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles, read by Noako Mori. One Thursday lunchtime the Earth gets unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass. Roger Wilmut, in his 1978 biography of Tony Hancock as a performer, credits two British radio comedy shows, already running in 1954, with establishing an uninterrupted 30-minute sitcom format: A Life of Bliss, written by Godfrey Harrison and starring George Cole, and Life with the Lyons, a programme heavily base

Aided and abetted by Sid James, Andrée Melly, Bill Kerr and Kenneth Williams, Hancock would enter into the spirit of each episode with characteristic dolefulness. I got mangel wurzels in me garden, I got mangel wurzels in me shed, I got mangel wurzels in me bathroom, and a mangel wurzel for a head! Being ashamed to admit his true profession, he has explained his regular appearances in court by telling the old man h.New and familiar characters abound, voiced by a bright mix of performers, including Kat Dennings, Regé-Jean Page, Emma Corrin, Michael Sheen, Kristen Schaal, Brian Cox, John Lithgow, Jeffrey Wright, and so many more, including fan-favorite narrators Simon Vance and Ray Porter.

Sid James was a terrific asset but the interesting thing about seeing all the episodes is that Tony and Sid weren't always a couple of likely lads from East Cheam! However, whilst the split from Ray and Alan has become legendary, it was not the first time he had broken with the duo, having embarked on a sketch show for ATV, The Tony Hancock Show, which debuted just months before Hancock's Half Hour made the leap to the small screen and ran for two series in 1956/57.
