I think it was 'Mabel at the table' and, after she retired, Barney Colehan took over the payout. Then the catchphrase was 'Give 'em the money, Barney'.

Al Read had a few catchphrases in the 50's .... 'That's the wife from the kitchen'; 'Right Monkey'; 'You'll be lucky, I say you'll be lucky'; 'Ju-ju-ju-just a minute'.

Itma was riddled with catchphrases .... 'This is Funf speaking'; 'I go - I come back'; 'T.T.F.N'; 'After you, Claude'; 'Don't Forget the Diver'; 'Don't Mind if I do, sir'; 'Wanna buy some dirty postcards?' and many others, some already noted.
 
Daisy May's dog used to say ''drop-dead'' in a very posh accent; and Lord Charles' famous ''you silly a**e!''

Jimmy Clitheroe as the 'Clitheroe Kid': Ooo flippin' heck!'' & ''Don't some mothers 'ave 'em! '' Archie Andrews: ''I say Brough!''
