Nearer 40! Bought them on DVD last year. All very silly. Roger of the Raj and Golden Gordon are to watch out for. Dated, but amusing none the less.

..It's an icebreaker sir.
Scarily I recall the series from the "upper 6th" days at school (year 13 to you youngsters) - actually it would have been the pilot episode "Tomkinson's schooldays" in January 1976 (lower 6th, year 12 kids).

When his mother refuses to let him come home he makes several attempts to escape,all unsuccessful,but after winning the Thirty Mile Hop against a rival (Buddhist) public school he is promoted to School Bully when Grayson leaves for Eton."

Have had the DVD for years... watched them all again recently.
Tomkinson's School Days (with the boy being crucified at the entrance to the school) and Escape from Stalag Luft 112 B are my two favourites.
These are up there with the Comic Strip as some of the cleverest comedy ever made.
