  • The "Toed In The Hole" episode from The Glums, a radio comedy series which was part of the "Take It From Here" British radio comedy programme broadcast by the BBC between 1948 and 1960.
    This episode starred Jimmy Edwards, June Whitfield and Dick Bentley. Written by Frank Muir and Denis Norden. For more information, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_It...
    No copyright infringement intended. Just wishing to share this wonderful comedy series for people's enjoyment and for posterity. The poor sound is attributable to the ravages of time and having being transferred through different media.

    People don't seem to have the imagination for radio comedy any longer, everything now has be to ultra-graphic or foul mouthed for them to understand. These radio shows were primetime listening, written by the best comedy writers of our time. Thanks for uploading these wonderful shows, so many memories.

      You're very welcome! I totally agree it's a shame comedy nowadays, even when well written, always feel the need to have bad language and confronting themes. I'm so glad my parents recorded these (and that I found the recordings!). They recorded them for us to listen to at home or in the car but they've got a new life online now (if allowed to stay!).

    So many happy memories from listening to shows like this when I was growing up! Sundays were, full of such joys. The Glums, Life with the Lyons, Family Favourites, Take it from Here, Sing Something Simple and a great favourite Round The Horne, Navy Lark and more. Still remember that great old brown radio on top of the cupboard. An utter joy to still be able to laugh and know I won't hear any foul language or innuendo. Well, yes, I know Round the Horne was innuendo-ridden...but I didn't know then!

      Glad you found it! I found these recordings after going through my Dad's things after he passed away and thought others might enjoy them : ) I remember listening to them as a child and thought they were great even though I knew they were from an earlier time. Great humour is timeless! Thanks for sharing your happy memories : )

    The Glums were part of my childhood, sitting near the steam radio on a Sunday. " Ohhhh, Ron " ..... " Yes, beloved ". " Hello, hello, hello. What's going on here ? " Great memories. Loved June Whitfield. Shw was a real sweetie. 😇
    Ron was so dumb he would slot comfortably into the Labour Party's front bench. 😂😂😂
