I was thinking of Gerald Campion and Billy Bunter last easter at Sore Fingers "Summer" School. It is held in a beautiful public school near Stow in the Wold that looks just like the place they used in the series. Lucille Reiley, an American autoharp tutor, played Portsmouth in the tutor concert - which I thought really apt,though I don't suppose she'd ever watched the program or read the stories.

Cheers
