lol long time since I've heard that

ITMA

Not that far back but it was certainly in use when I was growing up

I remember it from ITMA.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_That_Man_Again

"I'm going down now sir" - Another diver catchphrase, which became
widely used in descending lifts during the era of ITMA popularity.[5]
"This is Funf speaking" - German spy, spoken by Jack Train.[4] This
became a popular telephone catchphrase.[7]
"I don't mind if I do" - Colonel Humphrey Chinstrap's catchphrase,
spoken by Jack Train, turning any remark into an offer of a drink.[4]
The origin of this catchphrase precedes ITMA, but was nevertheless
popularised by ITMA.[8]
"Can I do you now, Sir?" - Spoken by Dorothy Summers as Mrs Mopp the
office char.[4][9]
"I go, I come back" - Middle Eastern vendor, Ali Oop. Spoken by Jack
Train.[4][10]
"It's being so cheerful as keeps me going" - Mona Lott, a depressed
laundrywoman played by Joan Harben.[11]
"Good morning, nice day" - commercial traveller about to offer some
sales line.[12][13]
"After you, Claude - no, After you Cecil" - Moving men spoken by Jack
Train and Horace Percival[4][14] This phrase became used by RAF pilots
as they queued for attack.[15]
"I'll have to ask me Dad" - Mark Time (an elderly ditherer). This "was
a political phrase introduced into ITMA when post-war reconstruction
was looming.[16] It was spoken by a Jack Train character, Mark Time,
who responded to all questions with this phrase.[4]
"But I'm all right now" - Hattie Jacques' character Sophie Tuckshop,
after describing a long list of food she had eaten.[17]
"TTFN (Ta ta for now)" and "Can I Do You Now" - Spoken by Dorothy
Summers' character, Mrs Mopp.[4][18]

I remember hearing stuff like that but not directly from the programme.
