ITMA
jas AGATE, whose opinions I usually treat with respect, has let me down. I have discovered, via Ego 6, that he does not approve of Tommy Handley, except as a possible member of Parliament by virtue of the fact that his forthright sterling countenance is a guarantee against funny business, But the unfunniness of That Man’s face, assuming that it is unfunny, cannot affect me, a member of the radio audience. So I am unreservedly glad to find Tommy back on his old Saturday night beat at 2YA, together with such members of the Old Guard as the Colonel ("I don’t mind if I do"). It has been said that familiarity with the Ztma programme is a necessary preliminary to its enjoyment, and though I am willing to admit that love grows by what it feeds on and one must have fuel to feed the flames, I do not therefore deny the possibility © of mutual affinities and love at first sight. By which I mean that though I have met Tommy’s Irish nurse Annie, only twice I now find the sound of the talcum powder squelching out of her shoes almost as welcome as Mrs. Mopp’s "Can I do you now, sir?"
