Tom Brown’s Schooldays: TV Drama BBC 2

 

A number of readers (of a certain age?) had fond memories rekindled with our trip to Tom Brown’s Schooldays. That was the evocative BBC adaptation from 1971. It didn’t pull punches with its discipline scenes.

It was all the more memorable for some because the five-part series had all but been lost to the general public. That was until a DVD version was released.

As a treat here’s another scene from the show. Flashman, the school bully (played by Richard Morant), is thrashed by Brookes, the head boy. And as we know most bullies are cowards at heart, and Flashman is no exception.
