Bill Kerr of Tony Hancock's Half Hour Antique Hand Signed Photo

PFAS151    This is an antique early original hand signed photo for Bill Kerr who has personally signed the souvenir where his signature rests perfectly accompanying his portrait - bar light imperfections a little reverse aged (please note this is only mild and just the reverse only) - ex minus grading and in view of its age and rarity it is outstanding allowing and an extremely scarce autograph to find.

From 1954 to 1959, he had a regular role as an Australian lodger in the BBC radio comedy series Hancock's Half Hour. The series, with comedian Tony Hancock as the eponymous lead and also featuring Sid James, ran for six series. Initially sharper than Hancock's characterisation, Kerr's portrayal eventually developed into a more dim-witted character who became the butt of Hancock's jokes.Unlike James, Kerr did not feature in the television version of the Hancock series. Kerr also starred in the radio drama series The Flying Doctor (195863), regularly flying in and out of the fictitious Wollumboola base as he and his "doctor" colleague brought reprobates to justice in the outback. Later, after Sid James had ended his professional partnership with Hancock, Kerr briefly resumed working with him in the first series of the television comedy Citizen James.
