This came out way before I was born, only found out about it after reading 'A Black Boy in Eton'. The writer watched this at his prep school (where he had a mostly lovely experience apart from regular kid teasing) and he was scared to death about getting 'ragged' at Eton like Tom Brown. He probably watched the 1951 version, which I can't find. And yes, he got ragged brutally at Eton racially and otherwise (it was the 60s). This was still good enough for me, my heart bleeds for Tom Brown. Made me cry a little for him lol. There are problems with the current young gen in school, but at least intense bullying has toned down somewhat. This kind of bullying never leaves you.
I've been fascinated by Kieth for years, ever since I heard the Who as a teen. I think he is the best rock drummer of all time. Sadly, he seems to have never sought help for or been seriously confronted about his alcoholism. The fact that he basically abandoned his family haunts me, because he was so talented and warm inside.
Excellent. Rugby. Eton a complete dump. Wonderful to read about the two actors who played Brown and East. Both English eccentrics in their own right. Fantastic.
While for chimp or gori, Gebar is Kiranger of Secret Sentai Gorenger (actor Baku Hatakeyama committed suicide in 80s),while Bip or Vip has played monster or kaiju's human form in Fireman 21, Leo 20 and 80 35
The idea of a ventriloquist having a massively popular show on the radio still makes me wonder. Perhaps only in the melting post of post war Britain could such a thing happen.
@@Jeremy-y1t And 'Educating Archie 'ran on the radio from 1950 to 1960. People didn't have to listen in their millions to that particular radio programme whether they had a tv set or not - that's the point I'm making.
