Aged 8, an anxious Miller and a precocious Powell were sent away to a boarding school that was a microcosm of postwar Britain. It was 1965 when they first confronted Jenko roaring, Brazier screaming, and Griffo gazing pruriently as they bathed naked. The Empire was gone, and its grey icons were being replaced by new heroes: the Beatles, Muhammad Ali, and the Apollo astronauts. On a pilgrimage back to their old haunts, Miller and Powell recreate the characters that defined their childhoods by telling a series of Tales. Some are shocking, some comic and some tragic; some are even uplifting. With charming candour, they draw us into a time when baby boomers and the stalwarts of Empire were colliding.
