''Tom Brown's Schooldays'' is a 1971 television serial adaptation of the Thomas Hughes novel ''Tom Brown's Schooldays''. It was originally screened on the BBC1 Sunday afternoon slot, which often showed serialisations of classics aimed at a family audience. It made some free adaptations to Hughes's novel, creating the role of Flashman's father, and writing new sub-plots about Flashman and Arnold. 〔See Katheryn Hugehes's article on Hughes' novel in ''The Guardian'' '' http://www.theguardian.com/books/2008/sep/20/booksforchildrenandteenagers''.〕 It also included some scenes of bullying and corporal punishment which may have been strong stuff for family viewing. "Clean-up TV" campaigner Mary Whitehouse claimed that the programme broke the BBC's guidelines on the depiction of sadistic violence.〔Charles Gillies ("Mrs Whitehouse, ''Casanova'', and ''Tom Brown's Schooldays''" ), ''Glasgow Herald, 8 December 1971, p.8〕 The series was later shown on ''Masterpiece Theatre'' in the USA. Both the programme and Anthony Murphy's lead performance won Emmy Awards. ==Cast== * Anthony Murphy as Tom Brown * Iain Cuthbertson as Dr. Thomas Arnold * Louise Jameson as Mary Arnold * Simon Fisher Turner as Harry "Scud" East * Richard Morant as Flashman * Gerald Flood as Sir Richard Flashman * Richard Gibson as Sunning * Christopher Guard as Darcy * Daniel Hill as Harry * John Hug as Druce * Robin Langford as Martin * John Paul as Mr. Brown 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tom Brown's Schooldays (TV serial)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
