	TAKE IT FROM HERE
		Mr Glum, the head of the family, was boozy and brash and played by Edwards, with his wife, played by alma Cogan, generally heard as a indestinguishable noise from 'upstairs'.
		By the tenth season, the 250th show was reached and The Glums had become the main feature of the show, and subsequent series saw the reduction of the contribution of the Keynotes to just one musical item.
		The Glums remained the mainstay fo the show until the series finally ended and was only missed on the 10th anniversary of the series on the 26th March 1958, however, it seems as if almost to make up for this temporary loss, two complete shows were given over to the family.
