Say huzzah for Billy Bunter, a man for our time

By Jim White

Last Updated: 12:01am GMT 18/02/2008

3D""=20 Have=20 your say 3D""=20 Read=20 comments

Gadzooks, yaroo, huzzah! No, it is not an = extract=20 from Boris Johnson's London mayoral election manifesto; it = is but a=20 few words in celebration of a hugely important cultural = centenary:=20 Billy Bunter is 100 this week. Or rather, he would have been = had the=20 type-two diabetes, the furred arteries, the heart disease, = the=20 osteoarthritis, the liver condition, the circulation issues, = the=20 gout, the breathing problems and the sleep apnoea not caught = up with=20 him long ago.

Frank Richards's notorious tubby, the = comedy=20 lard-bucket of Greyfriars School, first appeared in cartoon = form in=20 the Magnet comic in February 1908.

Initially he was just one of the lads, a = foil to the=20 famous five of Harry Wharton, Bob Cherry, Frank Nugent, = Johnny Bull=20 and Hurree Jamset Ram Singh (known, in those=20 pre-culturally-sensitive times by the nickname of "Inky"). = When it=20 came to these lads' jokes, Bunter was invariably the butt = (and he=20 had a substantial one, forever framed in his over-tight = Prince of=20 Wales check trousers, about to be addressed by Mr Quelch's=20 cane).

A sneak thief constantly slipping into = Coker's study=20 to pinch biscuits, or being caught, stuck in the attempt to = break=20 into the tuck shop, his podgy legs protruding out of the = hatch,=20 frantically flapping, the comedy came from the pitifulness = of his=20 greed. His laughable habit was to own up long before anyone = accused=20 him of anything.

"If it's about the cake, Sir, it wasn't = me, Sir. I=20 didn't know Mrs Keble was even baking a cake, Sir. And it = very=20 definitely isn't in my desk, Sir, so there's really no point = looking=20 in it," he would say, when summoned to Mr Quelch's study for = an=20 altogether different reason, perhaps to take a long-distance = phone=20 call from his father.

Soon, his snivelling, deceitful, venal = behaviour=20 became the main purpose of the strip.

By 1940, when Magnet ceased publication = due to the=20 wartime paper shortage and he was obliged to blob on first = to=20 Knockout then to Valiant, he was the nation's favourite = anti-hero, a=20 schoolboy institution, described by George Orwell as "a real = creation".

In the late 1960s, the BBC made a = television star=20 out of him. They ran seven series of his adventures, = featuring young=20 adult actors such as Anthony Valentine, Melvyn Hayes and = Michael=20 Crawford squeezed into ill-fitting blazers and caps as his=20 Greyfriars chums.

Gerald Campion, who played Bunter, was 29 = when the=20 first series aired. Which rather fitted with Bunter's = character: he=20 was so lazy that he probably would have still been at school = as he=20 entered his thirties. You could certainly never imagine him = staying=20 awake long enough in Mr Quelch's interminable, droning Latin = classes=20 to get the grades to leave.

Looking back at those shows - all of them = available=20 on YouTube - you soon realise that these days Bunter could = never be=20 invented.

For a start, the Fat Owl of the Remove = would be=20 known as the Morbidly Obese Individual of the Year 11 = Special=20 Measures Media Studies Opt Out Set. And it would be = difficult to=20 single him out for identification because at least half the = class=20 would be spilling over the belts of their trousers.

Besides, you couldn't laugh at him. Fat = isn't funny=20 any more. Any drama associated with him would involve the = arrival of=20 a government educational task force charged with helping him = and his=20 family to make informed choices on dietary selection and = Jamie=20 Oliver telling Mrs Keble that Bunter's health problems were = her=20 fault for baking too many cakes in the first place, and she = needed=20 to switch to organic, locally sourced vegetable stir-fry = pronto.

Meanwhile, his father would be poised to = sue Quelch=20 and Greyfriars for turning his poor William into a barrage = balloon.=20 After all, someone must be responsible for the hopelessness = of the=20 lad's condition and it couldn't possibly be the boy himself. = Or his=20 parents.

Yet, despite their apparently archaic = nature, the=20 adventures of Bunter still have a telling resonance.

Take the lad's character. Instead of = cutting his=20 coat according to his cloth, he is forever living beyond his = means.=20 He is on a constant search for more than he needs, more than = is=20 available. He does not have the wherewithal to gain such = booty=20 legitimately, as he is always waiting for a postal order = from his=20 father that never seems to arrive.

In his mind, as he purloins other people's = tuck, or=20 slips his mates' sweets into his already crammed pockets, he = is just=20 borrowing. He will pay them back when the funds come = through. And=20 when his boat does come in there will be a blow-out to end = all=20 blow-outs.

In short, as a gloss on the way the = British economy=20 is operated, a century after Bunter first wobbled into life, = it=20 could not be more astute.

People are living too long and this is = causing=20 pension fund managers to worry that there won't be enough funds in = the pot=20 to pay everyone.

Added to this we are constantly being = told that=20 the cost of keeping old people in residential homes is so high = that the=20 government cannot afford to pay the bills and that old people or = their=20 families must do so instead.

In view of these things = surely it is=20 grossly irresponsible of the government to try and make people = live even=20 longer by interfering with their eating and smoking habits? =

Thin=20 non-smokers have a vested interest in this: the more that other = people=20 smoke and are fat the more likely that the nicotine free skinnies = will=20 have full pensions and a government that can afford their nursing = home=20 fees when they are old.

The problem is that thin no = smokers are=20 often so vindictive and sanctimonious that they cannot resist the=20 temptation of criticising those less perfect than themselves! They = do this=20 with great relish seeming to be blissfully unaware that it is so = clearly=20 against their own long term self-interest.
