Tarks has nailed it. Roger, as a bladelled master of humourous writing, will be aware of pretty much every word in the English language.

This is like sitting through an extended Leonard Sachs intro on the Good Old Days...

"that"
is a real word.
It's a demonstrative pronoun (pl. "Those"), which usually points out, or refers to, a person or thing previously mentioned, or supposed to be understood. "That", as a demonstrative, may precede the noun to which it refers.
