    About this ebook

    Arriving in Limbo after his lonely end in Australia Tony Hancock finds himself in a hospital waiting room very much like the waiting room in The Blood Donor. There he is met with the red tape and bureaucracy that drove him mad in life; a Galton and Simpson-esque tribute to possibly the greatest comedian of his generation.
