IT'S THAT MAN AGAIN
The Face That Launched A Thousand Quips
‘THIS is a page of BBC photographs of some of the more notorious
personages in "ITMA" Dr
Thomas
Hacksaw ,
for instance, that
-Gubious dean of the medical profession, alias Picklock Hoimes, alias the Pukka Sahib from Rumblebellipore, alias Miss Thomasina (Farthingale) Handley; and with him are one or two others from the idiotic half-hour, whose names will be found under the photographs. _ The photograph immediately to the left was chosen by the BBC because nobody had ever seen Tommy Handley looking serious before. It is, they assured us, the authentic face that launched a thousand quips. And the one on the right, dating back to the childhood of Thomasina Handley gives a fresh glimpse of his/her extraordinary background.
