Wizz for Atomms
The Headmaster bans masters visiting the new under-matron, but skool bully, Grabber has other ideas. Stars Imelda Staunton.
Tired of masters skipping lessens to visit the new under-matron, Prudence, the Headmaster has banned everyone in school from visiting the infirmary.
But Grabber, the skool bully, has fallen for her and orders Molesworth to help him out.
Imelda Staunton stars as Nigel Molesworth, the Curse of St Custards, in this fresh adaptation of the notorious Goriller of 3B's guide to skool life for tiny pupils and their parents.
Aided by best friend Peason and thwarted by everyone from Grabber the skool bully to Wandsworth the skool dog, Nigel Molesworth teaches us the ins and outs of skool life - including how to avoid lessens and how to build your own H-bomb.
