Wartime radio comedy from the 1940s starring Tommy Handley. With Jack Train as Colonel
Chinstrap. And featuring Mrs Mopp, Mona Lott, Sophie Tuckshop, Tess Tickle, and Funf the Nazi Spy.


A collection of 53 editions of the show: the largest online collection anywhere.





In the 1930s the British newspapers, tired of the constant repetition of news items featuring Hitler, took to referring to him obliquely as That Man. A catchphrase quickly caught on, supposedly begun by the Daily Express, whereby Hitler's activities were refered to sarcastically using the newspaper headline It's that man again!


With the then-current craze for reducing everything to an acronym, that headline, reduced to its initials ITMA, became the title of the BBC's latest radio comedy series, launched in 1939, with the twist that the term 'that man' was used in the show to also allude to its star, the stage comedian Tommy Handley.



It became the ultimate catchphrase comedy series: Can I do you now, sir? Don't forget the diver, sir! I don't mind if I do so, sir! This is Funf calling!
