Programme Guide
In this show, Hancock's got a new neighbour, who proves to be a bit of a problem. It's not the normal problem of neighbours, i.e. either seeming to be running a cobbling business, which requires nails to be hammered in relentlessly at all hours of the day, nor is it the constant calling round to borrow the obligatory cup of sugar.
The trouble here is that Hancock thinks the new neighbour is bringing home bodies and burning them in the boiler. In truth, the man works for the local waxworks and is merely bringing home the old waxworks to be re-modelled into new subjects. Hancock is suspicious to such an extent, that he decides to go round next door and determine, once and for all, what he believes to be the truth.
