Hail St Custards

Anarchic Nigel's guide to skool life in the complete and utter shambles that is St Custards. Chiz chiz! Stars Imelda Staunton.

Everyone's favourite anarchic skoolboy, Nigel Molesworth gives a guided tour of the complete and utter shambles that is St Custards, the finest educational establishment this side of Dotheboys Hall.

Imelda Staunton stars as Nigel Molesworth, the Curse of St Custards, in this fresh adaptation of the notorious Goriller of 3B's guide to skool life for tiny pupils and their parents.
