Ripping Yarns

on BBC Two England

A series of films by MICHAEL PALIN and TERRY JONES Tomkinson's Schooldays
A second chance to see the highly-acclaimed comedy that launches a new series of five films.
Set in the frontier days of British education, when upper lips were stiff with cold and corporal punishment was an A-level. A savage, searing indictment of something or other.
Starring Michael Palin with Terry Jones Special guests
Gwen Watford , Ian Ogilvy With JOHN WENTWORTH
SARAH GRAZEBROOK , CHAI LEE
Transcended mere parody. (THE TIMES) A promised breath of fresh air revealed gale force. (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH) Split my sides! (THE OBSERVER)
