I read The Ginger Man when it was a cult book c.1960 and found it utterly trivial then. Funny, but the only bit I can now remember is when someone flushes the toilet in a rickety house and the contents end up in living quarters in the storey below.

Sounds like a bad case of mistaking the medium for the message! He clearly didn't grow up listening to Bird on a 1950's Dansette record player!

That film was relatively new when I was training as a teacher and clips were used as a critique of what was wrong with the education system. I hope we've got much better with most youngsters, but the basic inequalities are still there, the sense of alienation amongst the most disadvantaged too.
