Baden-Powell's 'Scouting for Boys' on TV

[Jedadiah]

Hey Peep's,

just to let you know , if you don't already, there's a programme about Baden-Powell's book 'Scouting for Boys' on Monday Night, 21:00hrs (9:00 PM if you don't do the 24hr thingy!) on BBC4. It's presented by Ian Hislop, so i imagine that it might be as funny as it is informative. I'm hoping it will be as good as his programme on WW1 deserters/ PTSD that he did a couple of months ago.

So, Monday 14th May, BBC4, 21:00 hrs, get your highlighters out for a trip down memory lane!

Thanks for the heads up. I've already set the recorder.

Finally, some advice on how to judge a chap by the way he wears his hat !
How can television have ignored this for so long ?

The Hero of Mafekin, Baden-Powell. Secret to his success, amatuer dramatics and never trusting a man with a waxed moustache!

I watched a programme on BBC4 a year or two back. It was pretty decent actually.

It's on again now, on BBC2.
