A series of documentary films set in one of Britain's top boarding schools for boys.
3: Too Much, Too Early, Kills
The Warden (or headmaster) of Radley is a teacher, administrator and Court of Last Resort.
He is a prop to the college's morale, a guardian of its standards, its spokesman, advocate and vindicator.
Dennis Silk is the 14th Warden of Radley. He is a staunch Christian, brilliant cricketer, and a lover of gardening and English literature. In this portrait he is observed as he copes with Radley's day-to-day chores and problems: a new Sub-Warden to be appointed; parents to be harangued on the dangers of over-indulging their sons; two boys to be punished for drunkenness. This at a time when a vital General Election was under way, and Labour was committed to the abolition of schools like Radley.
