Starting life on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ TV before transferring to radio, Chiselbury School is run "for the sons of gentlefolk".
Headmaster, Professor James Edwards, M.A. 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.
Staff and pupils played by June Whitfield, Roddy Maude-Roxby, Frederick Treves, Edwin Apps, Joan Young, John Cazabon, Roy Dotrice, John Coxall and Roger Shepherd
Written by Frank Muir and Denis Norden and adapted for radio by David Climie.
Producer: Edward Taylor
First broadcast on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Light Programme in April 1962.
