open-in-new
<p><i>Take It from Here</i> (often referred to as <i>TIFH</i>, pronounced – and sometimes humorously spelt – "TIFE") is a <a href="/facts/Great_Britain/TNgGQRPj">British</a> <a href="/facts/Radio/XFr909M2">radio</a> <a href="/facts/Comedy/6eaRmCRX">comedy</a> programme <a href="/facts/Broadcasting/AV1f3dGy">broadcast</a> on the <a href="/facts/BBC_Light_Programme/I263D3QR">BBC Light Programme</a> between 1948 and 1960. It was written by <a href="/facts/Frank_Muir/AvjFmFyz">Frank Muir</a> and <a href="/facts/Denis_Norden/9Nqassxa">Denis Norden</a>, and starred <a href="/facts/Jimmy_Edwards/VIsfw8IJ">Jimmy Edwards</a>, <a href="/facts/Dick_Bentley/lht7A2du">Dick Bentley</a> and <a href="/facts/Joy_Nichols/chvAEQ97">Joy Nichols</a>. When Nichols moved to <a href="/facts/New_York_City/YlyvFmVC">New York City</a> in 1953, she was replaced by <a href="/facts/June_Whitfield/2dB3Wrzg">June Whitfield</a> and <a href="/facts/Alma_Cogan/adgbvDnu">Alma Cogan</a>. The show is best remembered for introducing <i>The Glums</i>. Through <i>TIFH</i> 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 <i><a href="/facts/Round_the_Horne/AxXCSw7f">Round the Horne</a></i> and in many television comedy series. </p>
