Marie loses her temper

Show notes

New school year, new series - and we're starting with a cracker. Stand by for an explosive - and surprisingly musical - episode!


The usual provisos apply with respect to pronunciation, spoilers and bonkersness. In particular, I use a very English pronunciation of the name 'Thekla' all through this episode - sorry not sorry. Transcript available at https://topholepodcast.wordpress.com/2025/09/23/s3e1-marie-loses-her-temper/


I've created a Spotify playlist of (almost all) the music referenced in the book - it's called Exploits of the Chalet Girls. There are a couple of tunes missing and you'll need to go to YouTube for Ivor Novello's A Page's Road Song.


There's still time to send us your thoughts on why the Chalet School is important to you - you can find Tophole on Facebook or email us at [email protected].
