BBC Radio 4 Extra - Gwyn Thomas - He Knows, He Knows

Hewlett Prout drives people away with his constant display of general knowledge.

4 Extra Debut. Hewlett Prout is compelled to bombard people with facts - is it because he is a frustrated man?  Stars Philip Madoc. From 1972.

Too much learning can lead to trouble. 

Introducing Hewlett Prout, a Rhondda polymath.  Hewlett spends a night in a sports club with his cousin Dan and a few friends. His constant showing off drives them all mad.

Doesn't he ever want to talk about anything ordinary?
