Further down the original thread, someone says the photo is actually a Goosefish and posts a photo of a Wobbegong. Both look like something out of VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA! And at least we can now use the saying, "You can't tell a Wobbegong from a Goosefish!"

Decided to prepare for Christmas by buying a complete #TonyHancock dvd collection. In the best
@tonyhancock.bsky.social tradition there is no indication on the cases or discs as to which episodes are on which disc. "The Fools," as Hancock would have said.
