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

Solly has left the company and returned to Blighty. Both the Colonel and the Captain are in hospital so Williams is in charge and, mean-spirited as ever, wants to send the boys ‘up jungle’. However, Rangi hears this and tells the Colonel, who again puts his foot down. The Supremo, a Very Important Person, will be visiting and the Colonel wants the party to put on a show for him. The company are happy to oblige but ‘Gloria’ sprains his ankle during rehearsals, meaning that Williams must replace him as the star drag act.
