Sophie Tuckshop was a replacement for a less successful character, Ella Phant. Jokes about the latter's size did not work well on radio because the light and girlish voice of the performer, Hattie Jacques, did not suggest a heavyweight.{{sfn|Kavanagh|1975|p=136}} She described Sophie as "a terrible child who never stopped eating, with the inevitable sickening results".{{sfn|Kavanagh|1975|p=136}}

:'''Sophie''': I had such a lovely dream last night—I dreamt the bed was made of marzipan and the mattress was marshmallow and the sheets were jelly and the pillows embroidered with lovely sugar violets.
:'''Handley''': Stop! Once more we halt the roar of Sophie's Tuckshop to tell you of some of the interesting things that are In Tum Tonight! Carry on, Bicarb!{{sfn|Kavanagh|1975|p=147}}{{efn|Handley's words parody the opening and closing announcements of the popular radio show ''[[In Town Tonight]]'' (1933–1960), delivered by a stentorian voice (Fred Yule's for a time){{sfn|"Fred Yule", ''The Times''}} halting "the roar of London's traffic" to bring to the microphone "some of the interesting people who are In Town Tonight". At the end of each show the voice cried, "Carry on, London!"{{sfn|"In Town Tonight 1936". ''The Radio Times''}}{{sfn|"In Town Tonight 1945". ''The Radio Times''}}}}
