How can Jim have won the jackpot if he doesn’t play the football pools? Stars Professor Jimmy Edwards. From April 1962.
How can Headmaster Jim have won the jackpot - if he doesn’t play the football pools?
Starring 'Professor' Jimmy Edwards.
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.
Written by Frank Muir and Denis Norden.
Adapted for radio by David Climie.
