This fabulous slapstick comedy was first aired in 1936 and ran until 1941. There were around 520 episodes, and the show was produced and directed by Rex Dawe, who also played Dr. Percy Pym, the school master. It has been re-broadcast countless times since first hitting the airwaves, such was its popularity.

I first heard this show in 1992 when I was 8 years old on what was radio 3UZ but is now Radio Sport National and they no longer play Yes What, they haven't done since the mid 90's. I thought this show was fantastic in the mid 90's, I'd listen every Sunday night and would get really angry if I missed a show. What a show, it was really amazing.

@mollymitch1 They were recorded at Radio 5AD I believe.

iv got a fair few of these cds, i grew up listening to them, passed on from my old man. i still listen to them now :-)

What a treat it was to hear this again after all these years. I remember as a school kid in the 50's, sitting around the dinner table with the family, laughing our heads off every evening.

Of course nothing could have been further from how things really were at that time. Public School teachers of the Menzies era were a sour, humorless, no-nonsense lot. Word had it that the Dept. of Education of the time wanted to have it banned as they believed it was a bad example for the kids.

Many thanks
