Excellent and recommended

I have now viewed three of the four versions of this James Hilton story. It's a wonderful story, and two superb actors (Robert Donat and Peter O'Toole) have previously played the role of Mr. Chipping (whose first name is again not mentioned this version).

Martin Clunes' effort in the role does not quite match the towering performances of the other two actors, but he's very good, and the other aspects of the production work as well as the '39 version and definitely better than the particularly flawed '69 film. Here, the logic and coherence of the story flow extremely well within less than two hours. The makeup accurately reflects the changing time period of the story exceptionally well. There is a greater emphasis on the progressive aspects of education than in the other two versions, but this emphasis contributes appropriately to the story line. The cast is uniformly excellent.

Overall, a bit less sentimental than the '39 version, which I appreciated. A worthwhile remake, and definitely worth your time - whether you've seen the other versions or not. I'd give it about 8.5 out of 10.

Definitely not your grandfather's chips!

When I saw the ad for this, I naturally assumed this remake of the 1939 classic would be a sentimental period piece with a soundtrack replete with Elgar and choirboys. Instead I experienced one of the harshest exposes of hazing in the British public school system since If. Nothing is left to the imagination, making this movie unsuitable for anyone under 13. However, unlike the exploitative Oliver Twist miniseries that Masterpiece Theater did a few years ago, the writers did not go overboard trying to create a realistic atmosphere. This allowed a fine cast to turn in some superb performances without being overwhelmed by the plot and that's what makes this the BBC's best effort since the 1983 version of "Jane Eyre".

Such a wonderfully touching drama.

This is one of the most interesting and touching dramas I have ever seen with stunning performances from all of the cast, especially Martin Clunes and Victoria Hamilton. I loved this drama to bits. I watched this on ITV a few nights ago and have to say that all of their dramas are spot on! Thankfully there were no Americans in the cast who could tone down this wonderful British programme!

Absolutely excellent! 10/10 !

You cannot judge the importance of things by the noise they make

The Robert Donat version of Goodbye Mr Chips might now seem sentimental, old fashioned and light on plot. It is still a great film.

In this new version. Martin Clunes rises to the challenge in playing Mr Chipping. The shy new Latin teacher at Brookfield school in the Victorian era who stays decades at the school rising to become the beloved headmaster. He finds love with Katherine Bridges (Victoria Hamilton) who he meets on holiday and they swiftly marry. Katherine shakes up his life and that of the stuffy school but domestic bliss is short lived.

This new version deals with the brutishness of private school life. The barbaric initiations, the fagging, the bullying. Mr Chips especially with the help of his wife wants to bring a more progressive way of dealing with pupils and the bullies. As he observes, the cane has had little effect with some of the pupils.

The Donat version did not deal with the brutality of World War One as much as this version. The anti German sentiment towards the German master Mr Staefel is more pronounced. The impact of the war on some of the ex pupils is more graphic.

There is a subplot when a new headmaster turns up in the run up to World War One. He wants to modernise the school but also ramp up the school fees, abolish scholarships for poorer pupils and introduce military training. Mr Chips is appalled at the rapid changes and the governors decide to back him instead of the new headmaster.

A young Henry Cavill plays one of the grown up ex pupils who is injured in the war. Clunes puts in a good performance, it is sentimental enough towards the end but it is never anything more than a well made television movie.

a very good film.

This is a very good film; beautifully acted. Martin Clunes was exceptional as Mr. Chipping, playing the part from a young man to an eighty year old most sensitively. Indeed, all the actors in this film played their parts well. The make-up department also deserves some kudos for their part in the transformation in age of Martin Clunes. I had seen the original version and while generally I have found that re-makes fall well below the standard of the original, this one to me, was far superior. The whole atmosphere of the film gave me a breath of the era in which it was set, and indeed made me almost sorry at the end to find myself back in 2006! I would recommend this film to any discerning viewer, with the "warning" that they must watch it with open mind and not view it with Martin Clunes previous TV characters clouding their enjoyment.

ट्रिविया
Mr. Chipping tells his pupils about the mathematical theorem Pons Asinorum ("The Bridge of Donkeys"). This refers to Euclid's theorem that the angles opposite the equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal.

गूफ़
When Mr. Chipping first kisses his wife-to-be, he is already wearing a wedding ring on his ring-finger. This is incorrect. His ring is on his right hand, a wedding in ring is worn on the left hand.

[Chipping has threatened to resign because he is being ordered by Ralston, the new headmaster, to make fundamental changes and modernisations to the way that he teaches and he is vigorously opposed to these changes. In Assembly, Ralston assumes that Sir John Rivers, Chairman of the Governors, will support him in this. However Rivers is an old boy of the school and has his own loyalties]
Ralston: In the few weeks since I've been Headmaster, we've achieved a great deal. But there's more to be done. Some of you may recognise our guest this morning - a pleasant surprise - Chairman of the Governors, Sir John Rivers. And I'm sure that he will have a few words to say to us about the *necessary* changes which Brookfield must now embrace.
[Rivers looks furious at what Ralston is expecting him to say]
Sir John Rivers: Good morning, gentlemen. My time at Brookfield shaped my life, and I'm pleased and proud to be here today to acknowledge that. The Headmaster has spoken of change, and we must all embrace change, how ever unpleasant. But we at Brookfield must also be aware of that sense of continuity, that sense of tradition, that has made us what we are - Brookfeldians. As you are aware, one of the pillars of the school has been your and my Latin teacher, Mr Chipping. You are also aware that we have been in danger of losing him. I now invite him to change his decision, and to confirm that he will stay with us, by leading us all in the School Prayer.
[Rivers sits down]
Ralston: [whispers angrily] You have placed me in an *impossible* position.
Sir John Rivers: [grinning] You've done that for yourself.
[Ralston looks utterly defeated as all the boys start to chant "Chips, Chips" in support of Chipping, to persuade him to change his mind]
