Trouble in Prep: CP Services

 

Since I started this blog I have been going on about CP Services, London and how its videos have all but disappeared from view. I have a collection that I bought more than a decade ago, but I have no idea if anyone owns the copyright.

One CPS story that has survived online in various forms is Trouble in Prep. It is a simple tale of four “boys” who have (off screen) been misbehaving and are marched by Keith to the headmaster’s study. There, they are called in one-by-one and ordered to touch toes. Then they receive an efficient six strokes across the backside before: “Stand up. Send in the next boy.”

I know from comments I’ve read online that many people recognise this scenario from their own experience. The whole thing is straightforward and unfussy. And authentic.

There are four “boys”: Simmons and Mark we have met before, but I don’t recall seeing Edwards or Davis in other videos.

Nit-pickers among us might notice that the furniture in the study moves.
