The series follows the exploits of a Royal Artillery Concert Party during the Second World War. This period sitcom, created by David Croft and Jimmy Perry, seemed a natural follow-up to their smash hit Dad's Army. Another ensemble piece, it drew on both writers' wartime experience in India and set the action in Deolali: a British army camp 100 miles north-east of Bombay where everyone's gone "a bit doolally". The concert party is a rag-tag collection of soldiers who'd rather sing, dance and drag up to entertain the military troops than be sent forward to the front line. Characters include effeminate drag artist Gunner 'Gloria' Beaumont (Melvyn Hayes); the diminutive Gunner 'Lofty' Willie Sugden (Don Estelle) who possesses a hauntingly beautiful singing voice and ineffectual Colonel Reynolds (Donald Hewlett). However, the show's stand-out personality is the bombastic, eye-rolling Battery Sergeant Major Williams (Windsor Davies). Review: Brilliant - Brilliant British comedy at its best. Review: Top Hole Show. - Oh what heavenly blessings from heaven this is - the adventures of Royal Artillery Concert party in the (yeuch - spit) jungles of India and Burma. What top hole fellows they are, battling against the heat, the flies, those Japanese and even dear old Sergeant Major Shut Up. If you want to see us Englishmen dressing up as women and officers pretending to be clever dickie, then this is the show for you. Our leading Gunner, Beaumont Gloria, makes a fine woman, it brings tears to the eye when the English dress up as she-maidens from harem. So pretty, she could be married to my sister-in-law, half removed triple cousin. Then we have little Lofty, a small man with a voice like big water buffalo when seeking female buffalo to mate with - "oh o ho ho". Other members of fine concert party include Gunner Graham, he with university education at towns of Oxford and Cambridge - where all the English lah dee dahs go to become jolly good fellows. Gunner Parkins, a man blessed with looks of proud lion, is the jewel in our crown, a man produced from the loins of Sergeant Major Shut Up - or so it says in tea leafs of stinking char urn. What a fine pair of shoulders he has, so rounded, so manly - how the Japanese can ever defeat such people I do not know. These courageous men are not donkeys led by lions, oh no no no, they are led by two brave men, Captain Ashwood - he with lovely English accent, a chip off the old blocky of Blighty wood and the joyful Colonel Reynolds - a man who loves women, his pipe and passing the buckeroo. Oh dear me, I have forgotten one missing ingredient in this show, the man who reminds us to do parade ground drill and puts the bull into us. I am talking about our Sergeant Major - a man who should be politician - as he likes sound of own voice very much. Whenever we are late getting up, or taking too long washing painted grease from face he reminds us to "get on parade" or to "move yourselves move yourselves" in way only enraged wild boar does in jungle, when cheetah has taken his dinner. There is old Hindu proverb, it says "if you have spare English pounds, you must buy this DVD - money will not be wasted...although you may wear out your laughing insides." ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Melvyn Hayes, Windsor Davies | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 3,201 Reviews | | Format | PAL | | Genre | Comedy | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | 2entertain | | Number of discs | 9 | | Publication date | 4 Oct. 2010 | | Runtime | 27 hours and 27 minutes | | Subtitle | English | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Melvyn Hayes, Windsor Davies - **Format:** PAL - **Genre:** Comedy - **Language:** English - **Number of discs:** 9 ## Images ![It Ain't Half Hot Mum - Complete Collection [DVD] [1974],packaging slightly different - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/917bFUAz41L.jpg) ![It Ain't Half Hot Mum - Complete Collection [DVD] [1974],packaging slightly different - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91kgC3LXsOL.jpg) ![It Ain't Half Hot Mum - Complete Collection [DVD] [1974],packaging slightly different - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91xYZZRUzPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant *by C***L on 23 January 2026* Brilliant British comedy at its best. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top Hole Show. *by B***H on 31 July 2011* Oh what heavenly blessings from heaven this is - the adventures of Royal Artillery Concert party in the (yeuch - spit) jungles of India and Burma.
