The series starred Gerald Campion, (who was 29 at the time!), and was based on the books written by Frank Richards. At one time it was so popular that it was transmitted at 5.40pm for children and again at 8pm for the parents!
Bunter's teacher was Mr. Quelch (played first by Kynaston Reeves and later by Jack Melford). Harry Wharton, Bob Cherry, Johnny Bull, Hurree Jamset Ram Singh, Frank Nugent, Lord Mauleverer, and the bully Coker were his schoolchums at Greyfriars School.

Just wondering, is the actor playing Billy Bunter the same guy who played 'Cyril' in the 1966 'Dr Who' adventure 'The Celestral Totmaker' (sorry about my spelling)
If I'm wrong, then shame on me (cos I love the old shows) but in any case he don't half look like him.
No wonder the BBC were once faced with a lawsuit...

@kevinastraw Yes, you are so right my friend. During my schooldays in the 1950's, a fat kid was a rarity (and often cruelly victimised as a result). Nowadays, it seems, there are more obese kids in the class than "normal" ones! How did that happen? Thanks for posting, great nostalgia.
