Talk:The Bash Street Kids

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should be noted that Dennis has also been seen is class 2B at very rare times. --82.152.210.80 21:00, 14 August 2006 (UTC) In recent years, it would appear all Beano characters attend Bash Street, so Dennis might be in class 2A? At any rate, Roger The Dodger has definitely been confirmed as having the Bash Street Headmaster at his school, which I think proves it. Incidentially, most Beano characters (set in the present, so excluding Pirates of the Carabbeano, and also excluding toddlers Bea and Ivy) are in the same class. A bit odd, as I'd guess that Ernest and Daisy (Crazy for Daisy) and Ed (Numskulls) are older than most. Digifiend

[edit] The 40th anniversary storyline

It would be great if someone could put a summary of the famous storyline that occured in early 1994, when the kids were 'modernised' and moved to a brand new school (I'd do it, but I don't have the issues). All a publicity stunt, of course, but it got quite a reaction. BillyH 10:00, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Oh God yes, that was absolutely brilliant! Haha, I desperately want to read that strip now. --Imitationleather 06:39, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

  • The first part where the inspector closed down the school was in the 2004 annual, but the other two parts haven't been reprinted. The Beano and ITV's This Morning ran a poll, and of course everyone preferred the old version of the kids. Digifiend 09:56, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Teacher

Was Teacher's name ever given?

Not to my knowledge. The only way to find out would be to read every single strip! BillyH 15:21, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

THE KING OF C/P 4 LIFE $$$

  • The Bash Street School text stories in The Wizard in the 1950s probably mentioned Teacher's name, as other characters' names were expanded (Sidney's surname is Pye, Danny's full name is Danny "Death-Head" Morgan). However the school wasn't in Beanotown (probably because Beanotown didn't yet exist, rather than because it was in another comic) so it might not be canon. Also Spotty, Cuthbert, and Olive didn't exist yet, so weren't in the text stories. Digifiend 09:55, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Beanotown location

I think Beanotown is supposed to be Dundee. So yes, it's in Scotland. Digifiend


[edit] Repeated Story

The bash street kids have maybe repeated some stories because there was a story about computer bugs which i have proof that the story was a reprint.Darkside2000 (talk) 11:48, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Anachronistic

I'm not sure it's true to say that the strip is "anachronistically frozen in the era in which it began" - did ordinary secondary school teachers still wear mortar boards and gowns as recently as 1954, other than for school photographs and formal occasions? I very much doubt it.

Surely when Leo Baxendale created Teacher, he was simply following a comic stereotype, rather than actually trying to portray him as a realistic teacher. 217.34.39.123 12:20, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
