Imelda Staunton stars as Nigel Molesworth, the Curse of St Custards, in this brand new adaptation of the notorious Goriller of 3B's guide to skool life for tiny pupils and their parents.
Aided by best friend Peason and thwarted by everyone from Grabber the skool bully to Wandsworth the skool dog, Nigel Molesworth teaches us the ins and outs of skool life - including how to avoid lessens and how to build your own H-bomb.
Adapted by Patrick Barlow and George Poles from the books by Geoffrey Willans and Ronald Searle, with additional material by Abigail Wilson.

The four memoirs of Nigel Molesworth - viz. Down with Skool! A Guide to School Life for Tiny Pupils and their Parents, How to be Topp: A Guide to Sukcess for Tiny Pupils, Including All There is to Kno about Space, Whizz for Atomms: A Guide to Survival in the 20th Century for Fellow Pupils, their Doting Maters, Pompous Paters and Any Others who are Interested, and Back in the Jug Agane - are among the truest accounts of life at at English boarding school in the mid-20th century. Well, perhaps from the schoolboy's point of view, anyway. Even as a grammar skool oik, I find much in Molesworth's writings that I recognise from my own childhood - but I could never have made it so gloriously funny! The Skool Days of Nigel Molesworth is a triumph, as any fule kno!
