The hour hand on my clock is loose and just falls back to the 6?

Is there any way to fix this? I love the clock. It's battery operated and the minute and second hands move normally, it's just the hour hand that swings loose when I try to set it.

It depends upon where the play is that allows the hour hand to swing loose.
If it is the fit between the shaft and the hour hand you might be able to very very gently crimp the ring that fits onto the shaft.
If the gears have worn get a new electric motor, these are quite cheap £3.50at Maplin see link below
