Poor Nigel Molesworth is back at St Custard's, being snarled
at by Grimes and forced to endure the good old footer season. But
despite the distractions of hideous Molesworth 2 and weedy
fotherington-tomas, he will still share all his secrets to passing
exams and being a grown up. But what's this? A resolution to be good?
And to luv gurls? Is this the end of the Nigel Molesworth known
and loved by millions - or will he be bored by teatime?
