TV: Kinky item from The One Show

 

Here’s a kinky item from the BBC current affairs programme The One Show. As part of a report on some teachers wanting corporal punishment back in schools, presenter Adrian Chiles took an authentic six-of-the-best caning across his backside. It was delivered by Simon Warr who was dressed in a traditional headmaster’s cap and gown. He was described as a teacher of 20 years’ experience who used the cane back when it was allowed and would like to bring it back “because he enjoys it”. Chiles said straight-faced.

The caning was filmed and aired on the show. His caning was witnessed by colleagues on the show.

After the beating Chiles discusses with Warr his caning technique: he picked one spot to land all six strokes.

(It is not made clear but the “headmaster” is almost certainly the Simon Warr that we met here.)

The same edition of The One Show from October 2008 also had an item presented by Anita Rani about a survey of more than 6,000 teachers, by the Times Educational Supplement, which found that one in five teachers would like to see the cane re-introduced in UK schools. Corporal punishment had been banned in state schools in 1987, and in private schools in 1998.
