A much loved master at a public school decides to retire. The BBC produced an excelent version of Goodbye Mr Chips. The story opens in the 1930s, hence the more modern' school uniforms in some scenes. Then flashbacks tke us back to the late Victorian era when Arthur Chipping begins teaching and Eton suits are de rigeur for pupils. Roy Marsden plays Chipping and ages very convincingly from idealistic young master to crabbed old retired beak. It is based on the novel by James Hilton. The producer was Barry Letts and it was directed by Gareth Davies.
