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.

Outline
The company arrives at the village of Tin Min, on the Burmese border, where they find a group of Australian soldiers. One of their number, Okker, has gone missing and they refuse to budge until they locate him. Believing that Aussies like big women, Ashwood gets Mac to drag up and go into the jungle to lure Okker back – he finds him but scares him off. Then it is decided that Gloria will dress as a girl and sing a siren song. This succeeds in attracting a tiger, which chases Gloria up a tree, where he finds Okker.
