Billy Caryll and Hilda Mundy

Billy Caryll and Hilda Mundy were a British comedy duo who performed in variety shows and films, and on BBC radio, between the early 1920s and late 1940s.

Inspired by a minor lovers' tiff that they had had, Caryll took the role of a drunken husband and Mundy his domineering wife.

For contractual reasons, Caryll and Mundy did not broadcast on the BBC until 1936,[1] but they then began appearing regularly on radio variety shows.

[5] In 1938, they had their own radio show, which came to be billed as The Neemos, in which they presented their usual argumentative characters in sketches, interspersed with music, including songs by Sam Costa.

[1] Caryll and Mundy also featured together in the 1937 film, Calling All Ma's, and the following year in Lassie from Lancashire.
