And not much else. This is a collection of skits of Hancock, back in the caricature of himself he long wished to abandon since Hancock's Half Hour (that shallow pomposity and wearing the homborg hat and coat), themed around his journey to and arrival in Australia. The lowest point was Hancock fooling around with a fully automatic kitchen. That seemed to go on a half hour alone.
Hancock also doesn't play off of any interesting characters who are kind of funny in their own right. He also spends alot of time reacting to things while alone which might have worked with better jokes thrown in.
Mostly, all he has here is physical comedy and his reactions to events to fall back on which does work for him but it isn't enough to make this worth seeing beyond the morbid curiosity.
This show is entirely overshadowed by the state we know the comic actor is in during filiming and their releasing it 4 years after his death changes nothing. Hancock looks very thin and not in a healthful way. In fact he looks like a man in his early to mid 60s instead of 40s. The knowledge of his impending suicide haunts all you will see and the fact that the show isn't good means the viewer isn't distracted away from it. He killed himself about a week after his second divorce was finalized, with deteriorating health, not to mention the state his career was in and the effect that must of had on his professional pride all weighing on him. He was someone who once dreamnt of international stardom. I can assume since he couldn't quit drinking, that he felt he was doomed to face a death along the lines of F Scott Fitzgerald or how Jack Kerouac would die a year or so later, bledding out while sitting on a toilet. An ugly and terrifying experience in itself but then to face it in a foreign country all alone....
