Trying to entice more pupils to Chislebury, the headmaster tries a publicity gimmick. Stars Professor Jimmy Edwards. From 1962.
How can headmaster Jim entice new pupils to enrol at Chislebury School?
A catchy publicity gimmick perhaps..?
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, 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.
