There's an Airfield at the Bottom of My Garden
Hancock has moved to his new abode in East Cheam, sold to him by estate agent Sid.
As he holds a musical recital in front of various dignitaries. A glaring problem emerges. The crafty estate agent Sidney James sold Hancock a house with an airfield at the bottom of his garden. The planes make a racket each time they take off or come to land.
Hancock went to see the house on a foggy day. The planes were grounded.
Now he decides to sell the house himself rather than take a miserly low offer from Sid.
Hancock nearly has success in selling the house to a young couple from Birmingham. Until the fog clears and the planes start to take off.
The house nearly gets destroyed when a surveyor (Dick Emery) comes for a viewing.
Will Sid come up trumps and eventually get Hancock his dream abode?
The show hits another dimension when Emery turns up. It really does bring the house down.
