Introduction
It Ain’t Half Hot, Mum is a BBC television sitcom about a Royal Artillery concert party based in Deolali in India and the fictional village of Tin Min in Burma, during the last months of the Second World War.
The title comes from the first episode, in which young Gunner Parkin (Christopher Mitchell) writes home to his mother in England.
Outline
Not only has somebody written ‘British Pigs Go Home’ in stones but they have replaced the Union Jack with the flag of India and Williams is irate. He climbs onto the roof and pulls down the Indian flag, just as the new – native – district officer arrives. He too is irate and demands an apology from the sergeant major, though the men help Williams out by making it an apology in song.
