Law of the Playground

Coming Soon on Channel 4

The Law of the Playground is a new seven-part series about the stuff we all used to get up to in the playground, from the warped games, chants and nicknames to the traditions and taunts that were a regular part of break time.

Inspired by The Law of the Playground website and book, the show features comedians reminiscing about their schooldays, picking over topics such as teasing teachers, inedible school dinners, the dark corners of the school disco, bunking off and bullies.

Contributors include Vic Reeves, Debra Stephenson, Jayne Middlemiss, Lee Mack, Paul Kaye, Patrick McGuiness, Josie D'Arby, Justin Lee Collins and David Mitchell.

Addictively nostalgic and entertaining, The Law of the Playground revels in the pure creative insanity that children inflict upon each other and their teachers.
