Jackanory: The Founding of Evil Hold School: Lesson 1

on BBC One London

Kenneth Williams tells The Founding of Evil Hold School by Nikolai Tolstoy
'About seventy years ago,' the story begins, 'a cruel school-master was born in the jungle. No one knew who his parents were and he was adopted by snakes...' In case you are beginning to feel sorry for him, you may as well know that he was a revolting baby. As soon as he could think, he resolved on a career of Indescribable Evil. His name was Mr Malcolm Dredge-Strangler, BA, and his ambition was 'The Founding of Evil Hold School.'

Lesson 1: In which we meet Mr Malcolm Dredge-Strangler, BA, and Dr Grimly-Fiendish, French master, and learn about their terrible plans
