Clive Dunn appears with Tony Hancock in the original TV version of "The Reunion Party"

In 1965, several years after his peak, Tony Hancock returned to the recording studio to recreate another two of his finest TV Half Hour's for record release, this time, with his much missed co-star Sidney James. The result turned out to be his last professional engagement with Sidney James.

As with a few years earlier, Clive Dunn made another appearance on a Tony Hancock album, although this time he was uncredited, his voice is unmistakable in both programmes. Clive appears in "The Missing Page" as the librarian at the British Museum who uncovers the final copy of "Lady Don't Fall Backwards" .

In "The Reunion Party", Clive recreates the role he played in the original TV "Hancock's Half Hour" episode several years earlier as Hancock's old war comrade Ginger.
