Down with Skool. BBC RADIO DRAMA
Down with Skool! & How to Be Topp
Nigel Molesworth is a fictional character, the supposed author of a series of books about life in an English prep school named St Custard's. The books were written by Geoffrey Willans, with cartoon illustrations by Ronald Searle.
Molesworth is arguably one of the funniest comic creations in British literature. A superbly satirical chronicler of 1950s England, he influenced a generation with his anarchic take on life.
These wonderfully entertaining recordings show the self-proclaimed ‘curse of St Custard’s’, at his very best. Down with Skool! & How to Be Topp are based on the first two Molesworth books and are performed by Griff Rhys Jones. Molesworth gives us the lowdown on the Head Beak, masters, bullies and lessons - and offers his inimitable advice for tiny pupils on how to survive the first term …
Based on the books by Geoffrey Willans
Abridged by Wendy Cope
Performed by Griff Rhys Jones
Produced by Susan Roberts
