Take It From Here

Take It From Here (often referred to as TIFH, pronounced "tife") was a British radio comedy programme broadcast by the BBC between 1947 and 1960. It was written by Frank Muir and Denis Norden, and starred Jimmy Edwards, Dick Bentley and Joy Nichols. When Nichols returned to Australia in 1949 she was replaced by June Whitfield. The show is perhaps most famous for introducing The Glums. Through TIFH Muir and Norden reinvented British post-war radio comedy — amongst other influences, it was one of the first shows with a significant segment consisting of parody of film and book styles, later used extensively in programmes such as Round the Horne and many television programmes.
