Quick Crossword 26 – Old School Ties

YOU, BOY! YOU’RE LATE! Those words send a shiver down my spine, even by typing them. Not from direct experience but because of the fearsome Mr Bronson in Grange Hill, played by none other than the brilliant Michael Sheard. As you will know, he also appeared as the Headmaster of Coal Hill School under the control of the Daleks – something I suspected of my real life teachers at the time. This week’s Quick Crossword is all about schools and universities in Doctor Who, subverting the idea of formative education through alien incursions and malign influences. So, straighten your tie and pack your PE kit because we’re heading back to school! – Code Nine x
