Sir John Mills

I bought the complete collection of the Tales of the Unexpected DVD at the weekend theres an epsisode with John Mills as a commuter who sits in the same seat everyday on the train until one day a mystery man takes his place.

Mills soon realises that this man is his old school prefect who used to bully him as a child there are various flashbacks to his schooldays. Finally Mills decides to make an announcement on the train about this man saying what a bully he is and how horrible he treated him all those years ago.

The unexpected twist is that the mystery man gets up and says ' Im sorry old boy you are mistaken Im not Forbes Witherspoon from Harrow Im Fairfax Butley from Eton'.

Cue music

If it wasnt for the quitescentially British acting it would have been a waste of 20 quid, mind you theres still 15 more spisodes to get through.
