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
Two of the lads, Mac and Nobby Clark, deface a statue of a local deity. Though they are punished internally the Colonel looks for a way to patch things up with the locals and decides upon a football match, which the company will deliberately lose. However the boys are 51 – 0 down at half-time and need to save some face. Gunner Graham tells the villagers that the ball is made from the hide of a sacred cow, so they refuse to touch it, allowing the final score to be 51 – 50.
