Â鶹ԼÅÄ

A sneaky Sunday tabloid is after a school expose.

Will Professor Jimmy Edwards be able to fight back?

Starting life on Â鶹ԼÅÄ 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 Pettigrew, that the school exists at all.
