The Reporter

At a boxing match where Hancock causes chaos with his loud mouth.

He decides to have a go at being a reporter after talking to the journalist covering the boxing.

Well the Editor (Michael Aldridge) is impressed with Hancock's prose. Lifted from Tennyson or Wordsworth. All the editor demands is the truth.

Hancock has a knack of coming up with an arresting headline. If the rest of the paragraph leaves a lot to be desired.

Hancock tries his hand at everything. At a society wedding he causes the bride and groom to immediately split up.

As a theatre critic, Hancock' opinion leaves the newspaper at the mercy of lawsuits.

This is a very wordy episode from Terry Nation. He actually seems to be in his element here and Hancock does justice to the script.
