Ted Kavanagh

He is best remembered as the writer of It's That Man Again (ITMA), a radio comedy series which ran for a decade from 1939 and was immensely successful.

Kavanagh's biography of Handley was published in 1949, the year of the comedian's death and the end of their radio show.

A prolific writer, ITMA and his work for Handley constituted only a small proportion of his total oeuvre.
