Spin-off from a highly popular BBC Radio series, which ran from January 1938 to December 1939.

Gaffes
BBC TV went off the air on 3 Sept 1939 so any TV broadcasts after that date by the BBC are impossible. This movie was released in 1940 so is not realistic, although entertaining.,

The nickname of Murdoch could apply to this film

This is one of the earliest spin offs this time of the 1939 radio programme.The plot such as it is is concocted around of all things a TV broadcast.The original show was a combination of sketches stand up routines and music hall turns,and the film rather adheres to that.I suppose whether or not you like this film will to a certain extent depend on how much you like Arthur Askey.It has to be said that there is an awful lot of him in this film.Probably far too much.His stooge is Richard "Stinker"Murdoch.I have no idea how he got his nickname.There are a lot of musical numbers which are pleasant but fairly undistinguished.Moore Marriot and Pat Kirkwood are in support.This would be one of the last appearances of Jack Hylton before he would take on his entrepreneurial role in the West End.
