Tommy Handley takes over the Ministry of Fun with the assistance of Vera Lennox, Maurice Denham, Jack Train, Sam Costa, Vernon Harris, and Billy Cotton's Band.
The show was written by Ted Kavanagh and presented by Francis Worsley.
This popular programme, first produced in July, has returned to broadcasting under war conditions, and is bang up-to-date. Tommy Handley's floating broadcasting station, for instance, was commandeered at the outbreak of war, and he himself drafted to the Department of Fun.
His particular section in it is known as ITMA, rather suggesting an abbreviation of 'It's that Man Again'. In spite of the secrecy which surrounds it - a secrecy that may be partly broken tonight - it is understood that he has an expert staff; a secretary played by Vera Lennox and a person called Vodkin played by Maurice Denham. A sinister character is said to be an agent called Funf, so secret that he gets even Tommy guessing. But it will be no surprise if the wartime version of this quick-fire feature is every bit as funny as its peace-time predecessor.
