TV comedy: Not the Nine O’clock News

 


You’re eighteen years old and it’s your last day of school. Unexpectedly you are called to the headmaster’s study. You’ve been at school for five years

Then with trepidation you hear him say, “I’ve never had the opportunity to spank your bottom.”

Oh no! You’re trapped inside a sketch from the BBC comedy Not the Nine o’clock News!

The headmaster is played by Rowan Atkinson (now a global star as Mr Bean) and Griff Rhys Jones is the boy.

It was originally broadcast in 1980 (series two, episode six, if you must know).

It might touch a sore spot for some people ....

  1. Was just thinking ...... it’s a pity this didn’t follow through to an actual caning scene 😉

  2. There is another comedy clip I’ve been trying to find. It is something like the headmaster telling the boy he is going to cane him and the boy turning round and saying if he tries then he’ll smash his bloody face in (or something like that). I thought it might be Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. Does anyone have a clue what I’m talking about ....?
