TV Drama: Birth of a Nation 3

 

Here’s a third and final clip from David Leland’s 1983 TV drama, Birth of a Nation. What happens when a senior boy at secondary school refuses to play by the rules and bend over for deputy headmaster Vic Griffiths (played by Robert Stephens) to whack him with a plimsoll on the backside?

It is not a pretty sight.

Birth of a Nation, made by Central Independent Television (UK), is available to buy on DVD as part of a box set called Tales out of School.
