Billy Bunter aka William George Bunter was the Fat Owl of the Remove in a series of stories set in Greyfriars School by writer Charles Hamilton, under the pen name Frank Richards. The fat owl was infamous for his devotion to 'tuck', and a variety of colorful expressions as he was given a hard time by his schoolmates - "Yarooh", "You beast!", "I say, you fellows", and "Oh Crikey". The owl was given more space as Richards realised Bunter's gluttony made for good comedy, and the character was centre stage in the forty black and white half hour television episodes made by the BBC during the fifties, together with three specials. The last episode aired in 1961. Bunter also gave his name to six Christmas special stage shows.
