They were shot in 1996 for BBC Newsnight around the time at which the UK was debating the legality of corporal punishment. St James School was one of the last schools to abandon the use of corporal punishment in the UK.

If you look carefully, you can see the back of my head in one of our history classes.

For some reason embedding has been turned off for Part 2 of the video, but you can watch it on YouTube.

[Update:] Post updated to reflect the fact that the clips were shot by the BBC and not ITV. Thanks c.farrell for the update.
