Talk:Take It from Here

Television version of The Glums
I am reasonably certain that the television version was produced in house by LWT; independent companies were only just beginning at the time. This needs checking, but the imdb does not list production companies and the series is absent from the third edition of The Penguin TV Companion. The Radio Times Guide to Comedy by Mark Lewisohn is the obvious place to look. Philip Cross 13:54, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:The-Glums.jpg

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Capitalization style
Please see MOS:TITLECAPS for how Wikipedia capitalizes the titles of works. -- JHunterJ (talk) 17:05, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * But "Take It From Here" is the title. I do not understand why Wikipedia wants to report it incorrectly just to conform to its own style guideline. --RobertG ♬ talk 12:48, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

1943 Version
There was a series with the same name starting in 1943. From the Radio Times listings for 7 December and 14 December:

This is the first of a new weekly series of programmes in which Richard Haydn, by coercion of the BBC, and aided and abetted by a number of people with minds as grotesque as his own, endeavours to present to what he hopes is a waiting British Public, a bigger and better Radio Magazine.

''7.45 Richard Haydn in 'TAKE IT FROM HERE' with John Slater, Phyllis Monkman, and Cliff Gordon. Jack Jackson and his May Fair Hotel Orchestra, with Josephine Driver and the Four Star Girls. Script by Cliff Gordon (by arrangement with the Windmill Theatre). Produced by Vernon Harris. (BBC Recording)''

and a picture of Phyllis Monkman with the text PHYLLIS MONKMAN One of the original Co-Optomists, and now helping Richard Haydn to 'Take It From Here' every Tuesday at 7.45 p.m.

There are some notable names there but, apart from the zany humour, not much in common with the 1948 version. It does get a mention in The Independent obituary of Charles Maxwell:

Take It From Here had started in 1943 and had folded after two runs, the first with the wonderful Richard Haydn as the fish impersonator, Professor Edwin Carp; the second with the equally wonderful Arthur Marshall as Nurse Dugdale ("Out of my way dears, instantly!").

Might it be worth including something if only to clarify that it was not the same series? Cavrdg (talk) 09:55, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
