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

at Berns Restaurant, Stockholm
with The Young Generation
Featuring Lulu, one of Britain's most professional girl singers in a spectacular cabaret at one of Sweden's smartest night-spots...
She is joined by the Young Generation, the live-wire team of boys and girls who made such a big hit in Rolf Harris's latest series.
As you might expect the Young Generation are very much a team off-stage. A fact demonstrated by the three marriages within the troupe. It also has its drawbacks. A few days before they were due to leave for Sweden one of the boys was in contact with someone who had chicken-pox. The entire crew waited breathlessly for a rash of red spots to break out among the dancers. Luckily, they didn't.
Their high professional standards were really put to the test when they flew to Sweden to record a series of four programmes. They had just two weeks to learn 29 different dance routines - steps and words.
They really do sing the words of the songs and are producing an LP to prove it

What do we make - what will they buy? Spotlight on the export drive : new ideas - new products - new markets
This year's British Musical Instrument Trade Fair attracted many foreign buyers and thousands of pounds worth of orders were taken, but the overwhelming majority of instruments exhibited were imported - many -from the other side of the world
Only a handful of musical instrument manufacturers are exporting home-made goods in any quantity, but the re-export of French, East German and Japanese products is turning Britain into one of the world's leading distributors of other people's musical equipment
