	TV Dregs
		The very first radio to television crossover with wartime favourite Tommy Handley updating his popular 'Hitler and powdered egg rations' routines to attract the late-night post-pub youth audience.
		Yet the series soon became a favourite among students and although the series was made in the final year of Handley's life, he was still able to capitalise on his cult status by opening the country's first super-ballroom - 'The Ministry Of Aggravation' in Coventry.
		DID YOU KNOW: Handley's appeal to the young was such that many years later he was immortalised on the cover of THE BOOTLEG BEADLES best-selling comedy video 'Sgt Beadle's Golightly Family Band' alongside another comedy great - the eponymous star of brilliant alternative comedy series THE JUNG ONES.

	ITMA
		It was to star Tommy Handley, a well-known Liverpudlian comedian, whose first broadcast was a relay from the London Coliseum of the Royal Command Performance of December 1923.
		Tommy had been suffering from high blood pressure for some time, and his death seems a direct consequence of his dedication to work.
		The popularity of the catchphrases is demonstrated by a letter which Tommy Handley received from a little girl who had been taken to see the Tempest in Manchester.

		Tommy Handley was already a seasoned radio performer, when in 1939 the phenomenally successful ‘It’s That Man Again’ - better known by its acronym ‘ITMA’ - was created to showcase his wisecracking personality.
		He put together more radio revues, among them ‘Handley’s Manoeuvres’ and ‘Tommy’s Tours’, often in partnership with scriptwriter Ted Kavanagh, who was to create ‘ITMA’;, and in 1934 teamed up with fellow comic Ronald Frankau as the radio duo Murgatroyd and Winterbottom.
		For the wartime second series, Handley became the Minister of Aggravation and Mysteries at the Office of Twerps, and was joined by a troop of eccentric characters - played by a cast that included Sam Costa, Maurice Denham and Jack Train - all with their own catchphrase.

		Handley, which upset district top seed Millbrook on Wednesday, clinched a Region II berth and ended Brentsville's season.
		The win completed a Handley sweep of Brentsville in this year's district tournament finals, with the girls' team falling, 55-35, Thursday night, a little more than a week after the Tigers handed the Judges their only loss in regular season district play.
		But because the Handley girls were the tournament's top seed, Brentsville's girls advance to the Region II quarterfinals as the district runner-up.
