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
After Williams has put the men through a tough training regime and Graham, who has a book about the mutiny on the ‘Bounty’ stands up to him, Lofty falls asleep and has an odd dream. All the company are on the ‘Bounty’ and Graham, in the Fletcher Christian role, leads a mutiny which results in Captain Bligh – or Williams – being cast adrift in a boat with Lofty. Severe hunger drives Williams to try and eat Lofty’s leg but when Lofty wakes up he finds Williams actually is biting his leg. Lofty has been bitten by a snake and the sergeant-major is sucking the poison out.
