WW2 memory lapse

[Gordon 67]

Which comedy character, during the war, had a catchphrase, "Eeh, it's agony, Ivy".
I can find only one reference on Google (and that refers to Answerbank), but it doesn't ring any bells.
Many thanks.

I think it was on a Ted Ray radio show. Try: http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/radio/raysalaugh .htm

"Rays a Laugh" was the programme

Bob & Alf Pearson, the piano//vocal pair were the creators,
their other well remembered line that always accompanied it was ," Young Doctor Hardcastle ? He's lovely, Mrs. Hoskins,.he'slovely"

So your character was Mrs. Hoskins !

They don' write scripts like that these days! (More's the pity0

Other catchphrases were:

"A drink?, I don't mind if I do."...Colonel Chinstrap

"Can I do you now sir?"...Mrs.. Mopp, played by Molly Weir

Thank you all. I seem to have developed a selective amnesia to "Ray's a Laugh". "Itma" I manage to remember as if it were yesterday.
