Nick Hancock (born 25 October 1962, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire) is an English actor and television presenter. Probably TV's most well known Stoke City supporter, he hosted the sports quiz ''They Think It's All Over'' for 10 years. He also formerly presented ''Room 101'' (1994–1999) on TV, as well as its earlier radio version (1992–1994). Taking a sabbatical from show business, from 2005 he began working for a friend's mortgage brokerage. He left the position in February 2007, although no reason for his departure was made public.〔"Mortgage Strategy" magazine, issue of 12 February 2007〕 ==Early life== Hancock grew up with three elder sisters, with father Ken, a builder. He was educated at Yarlet School〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yarlet School - Yarlet School )〕 in Staffordshire and later Shrewsbury School. He was awarded a Third Class Degree in Education at Homerton College, Cambridge.〔(Nick Hancock's Education )〕 While at Cambridge, Hancock was a member of the Footlights where he first collaborated with Hugh Dennis and Steve Punt and became president in 1983 with Punt as vice president. He was also a founding member of the Homerton College Blaggards. After graduation, Hancock became a PE teacher and practised stand-up comedy as a hobby. He formed a double act with Neil Mullarkey, another former Footlights member, and the duo mostly did satirical spoofs of television shows' title sequences to accompanying music, several times on television. This included ''Doctor Who'', ''Kojak'', and ''Dad's Army''. One of his earliest TV breaks was presenting La Triviatta, a comedy/chat show about trivia for the short lived British Satellite Broadcasting station. In 1990, he appeared in a series of advertisements for Randall's beer, that were originally only shown in Jersey. These were later lampooned by Angus Deayton in his TV show ''Before They Were Famous''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nick Hancock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
