Television Film
Series Title: The Curse of Comedy (2008)
Director: Richard Laxton
Writers: Richard Cottan, Joan Le Mesurier, Edward Joffe
Cinematographer: James Welland
Composer: Ruth Barrett
Cast: Ken Stott, Maxine Peake, Alex Jennings

In the midst of his second divorce, comedy superstar Tony Hancock (Stott, outstanding) falls in love with his best friend John Le Mesurier’s new young wife, and begins a torrid affair with her, which is blighted by his crippling self doubt and chronic alcoholism, in this beautifully crafted and painfully moving look at the final few years of the morose comedian’s life.
