The morning was bright and sunny. But the summer sunshine was not reflected in Billy Bunter's plump countenance. Most Remove fellows looked cheery when they came out of the form-room in break. Billy Bunter was an exception. His little round eyes blinked dismally behind his big spectacles. Bunter was not enjoying life that day. Generally, the Owl of the Remove found life at Greyfriars School a tolerable proposition.

    Look and Learn A History of the Classic Children's Magazine By Steve Holland Text © Look and Learn Magazine Ltd 2006 First published 2006 in PDF form on www.lookandlearn.com by Look and Learn Magazine Ltd 54 Upper Montagu Street, London W1H 1SL 1 Acknowledgments Compiling the history of Look and Learn would have be an impossible task had it not been for the considerable help and assistance of many people, some directly involved in the magazine itself, some lifetime fans of the magazine and its creators. I am extremely grateful to them all for allowing me to draw on their memories to piece together the complex and entertaining story of the various papers covered in this book. First and foremost I must thank the former staff members of Look and Learn and Fleetway Publications (later IPC Magazines) for making themselves available for long and often rambling interviews, including Bob Bartholomew, Keith Chapman, Doug Church, Philip Gorton, Sue Lamb, Stan Macdonald, Leonard Matthews, Roy MacAdorey, Maggie Meade-King, John Melhuish, Mike Moorcock, Gil Page, Colin Parker, Jack Parker, Frank S. Pepper, Noreen Pleavin, John Sanders and Jim Storrie. My thanks also to Oliver Frey, Wilf Hardy, Wendy Meadway, Roger Payne and Clive Uptton, for detailing their artistic exploits on the magazine. Jenny Marlowe, Ronan Morgan, June Vincent and Beryl Vuolo also deserve thanks for their help filling in details that would otherwise have escaped me. David Abbott and Paul Philips, both of IPC Media, Susan Gardner of the Guild of Aviation Artists and Morva White of The Bible Society were all helpful in locating information and contacts.

  • The Banishing of Billy Bunter
    THE BANISHING OF BILLY BUNTER By FRANK RICHARDS Illustrated by C.H. CHAPMAN CASSELL AND COMPANY LTD LONDON THERE WAS A BUZZ OF EXCITEMENT IN THE WATCHING CROWD CHAPTER 1 NOT FOR BUNTER! 'LOOK!' ejaculated Bob Cherry. His comrades, as bidden, looked. The Famous Five of the Remove were in the quad after dinner. They were filling in the time till the bell rang for class by talking cricket. But Bob, suddenly dropping that interesting topic, bade them 'Look!' and four fellows looked round, expecting to see something unusual in the offing. But, so far as they could see, nothing of an unusual nature was stirring in the old quadrangle of Greyfriars School. There were plenty of fellows in sight. Wingate and Gwynne of the Sixth were chatting on the Sixth-form green. Hilton and Price of the Fifth were strolling by the elms. Temple Dabney and Co. of the Fourth were in a group. Mr. Quelch and Mr. Prout were walking and talking. Old Gosling was sunning himself in the doorway of his lodge. Coker of the Fifth was crossing to the House with a parcel under his arm, which he had apparently collected at the porter's lodge, and was conveying it to his own quarters. Behind Coker rolled the fattest figure at Greyfriars School, Billy Bunter of the Remove, his big spectacles gleaming back the rays of the sun. Other fellows were in sight, here and there—quite a lot of them. But Harry Wharton and Frank Nugent, Johnny Bull and Hurree Jamset Ram Singh, discerned nothing of unusual or particular interest, to evoke that sudden ejaculation from Bob.

  • Billy Bunter and The
    FRANK RICHARDS BILLY BUNTER AND THE CROOKED CAPTAIN PAUL HAMLYN CHAPTER I Declined with Thanks! ‘WHY not the Fifth?’ Harry Wharton asked that question in Study No. 1 in the Remove at Greyfriars. ‘The Fifth!’ repeated Bob Cherry. ‘The Fifth!’ ejaculated Frank Nugent. ‘The Fifth!’ said Johnny Bull. ‘My esteemed chum—’ murmured Hurree Jamset Ram Singh. The captain of the Remove had succeeded in astonishing his comrades. The Famous Five were at tea in Study No. I. They had been talking cricket, now the chief topic in Remove studies. So far the season had been a very successful one for the heroes of the Greyfriars Remove. They had beaten the Fourth and Shell in Form matches. They had beaten Highcliffe and Rookwood. They had no doubt that they were going to beat St. Jim’s when that fixture came along. They had been winning marches all along the line. and now, like Alexander of old, they sighed for fresh worlds to conquer. Still, there was astonishment in Study No. 1 when the captain of the Remove proposed playing the Greyfriars Fifth. The Fifth were a senior team—they were the Upper School—they included members of the First Eleven—they were great men at cricket: great men in every way, according to their own estimation, at least. ‘My dear chap—’ murmured Bob. ‘Well, why not?’ demanded the captain of the Remove. ‘They wouldn’t play a junior team,’ said Johnny Bull. ‘They think a lot too much of themselves.’ ‘The playfulness would not be terrific,’ remarked Hurree Jamset Ram Singh.

  • War Cinema– Or How British Films Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Affluent Society
    1 THE PROFESSIONAL OFFICER CLASS IN POST- WAR CINEMA– OR HOW BRITISH FILMS LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Andrew Roberts College of Business, Arts and Social Sciences of Brunel University 22nd September2014 2 ABSTRACT My central argument is that mainstream British cinema of the 1951 – 1965 period marked the end of the paternalism, as exemplified by a professional ‘officer class’, as consumerism gradually came to be perceived as the norm as opposed to a post-war enemy. The starting point is 1951, the year of the Conservative victory in the General Election and a time which most films were still locally funded. The closing point is 1965, by which point the vast majority of British films were funded by the USA and often featured a youthful and proudly affluent hero. Thus, this fourteen year describes how British cinema moved away from the People as Hero guided by middle class professionals in the face of consumerism. Over the course of this work, I will analyse the creation of the archetypes of post-war films and detail how the impact of consumerism and increased Hollywood involvement in the UK film industry affected their personae. However, parallel with this apparently linear process were those films that questioned or attacked the wartime consensus model. As memories of the war receded, and the Rank/ABPC studio model collapsed, there was an increasing sense of deracination across a variety of popular British cinematic genres. From the beginning of our period there is a number films that infer that the “Myth of the Blitz”, as developed in a cinematic sense, was just that and our period ends with films that convey a sense of a fragmenting society.

  • Bunter Keeps It Dark
    Frank Richards – Bunter Keeps It Dark BUNTER KEEPS IT DARK By FRANK RICHARDS Illustrations by C. H. CHAPMAN Page | 1 Frank Richards – Bunter Keeps It Dark Page | 2 Frank Richards – Bunter Keeps It Dark CHAPTER 1 BAD LUCK FOR BUNTER 'BOB, old chap—' 'Shush! ' 'But I say—' 'Quiet! ' 'Oh, really, Cherry! I——' 'BUNTER!' A voice, not loud but deep, interrupted Billy Bunter's whisper. Whispering in class was not encouraged in the Greyfriars Remove. Fellows were expected to listen in attentive silence to their form-master's words of wisdom. And sometimes Mr. Quelch's ears seemed as keen as his gimlet-eyes.
