The boys playing up! Will the Headmaster manage to make a good impression on their new landlord? Stars Jimmy Edwards. From 1962.
With the boys playing up will the Headmaster be able to make a good impression on their new landlord?
Starring 'Professor' Jimmy Edwards.
Starting life on Â鶹Éç TV before transferring to radio, Chiselbury School is run 'for the sons of gentlefolk'.
Headmaster, Professor James Edwards, MA never misses a trick when it comes to exploiting the students and their parents. Sports pitches are given over to growing vegetables, which the boys nurture for their head to sell. Classes never exceed 95 pupils - 50 if private tuition is paid for at five guineas extra.
It's only thanks to the efforts of the devoted deputy head, Mr Potter, that the school exists at all.
Written by Frank Muir and Denis Norden.
Adapted for radio by David Climie.
