Take It from Here, one of the most successful radio series in Britain in the late 1940s to the late 1950s, was once threatened with cancellation in their first season due to poor public reception. The show, which started out as a variety show, began with a brief opening with the hosts, Joy Nichols, Jimmy Edwards, and Dick Bentley, discussing current affairs in the world today in a comical way. The show was known, at the time, for its later segments, which were sketch gimmicks, a song by Joy and Dick, and the parody of popular books, films or plays. But this was just the infancy stage for a show that would go down as one of the greatest shows that has ever been broadcast in the United Kingdom.

After its third season, the show's popularity rose exponentially when they introduced the Glums family. With the coming of the Glums, the format was changed from a variety show to a situational comedy.
The Glums are a loving, but dysfunctional family that always seemed to get into some kind of trouble. Mister Glum, a blustering churl, is the head of the household, which consists of his wife, and his absent-minded son, Ron, played by Dick Bentley, and Ron's loving fiancée Eth, played by the magnificent June Whitfield. Week in and week out, Eth's plans to rise up above the drudgery that comes with being tied to Ron, and his avaricious father, were stymied. Just when Eth thought that she had Ron where she wanted him, in comes Mister Glum with his famous "Ullo, Ullo, Ullo…?" Poor, poor Eth! Tune in to find out if she will ever have normalcy in her life, without the Glums!
