Ted Kavanagh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ted Kavanagh (1892 in New Zealand — 1958) was a British radio scriptwriter and producer.
Initially a medical student in Edinburgh, Kavanagh switched to a career as a writer. Best remembered as the writer of the immensely popular It's That Man Again (ITMA) comedy series of the 1940s, it was intentionally devised by Kavanagh, producer Francis Worsley and the comedian Tommy Handley as Handley's specific vehicle; Kavanagh had been writing for him since 1924. Kavanagh also wrote a biography of Handley, published in 1949. A prolific writer, ITMA and his work for Handley constituted only a small proportion of his total oeuvre.
His son is the poet P. J. Kavanagh.
