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
It is Parkin’s twenty-first birthday and Williams aims to give him his Samurai sword, which the lad has admired. However, as he is about to present it to him, he sees that the other men have also got the birthday boy a sword, so he puts his away. Hearing that Williams was brought up an orphan and does not know his real birthday, Parkin invites him to share in his. He and the men even have a present for him, his stick, which Parkin broke but has had repaired. Everybody celebrates the double occasion and Williams is jolly for once.
