There was a stupid mistake in the remake of "St Trinian's"

Towards the end of this film, in the final round of School Challenge, Stephen Fry (or at least, the character played by Stephen Fry) asks what the volume of a sphere is, and gives a point (or five points, or whatever) for the answer "Pi r cubed".

Nope.

It is of course 4/3 Pi r cubed. And these people get subsidies from the UK government?

Well... If you read Stephen Fry's autobiogs you'll see that he admits to being crap at sums. :-)

So you didn't notice the spelling of "Cheltenham Ladies' College" written in big letters on the side of the bus, then?

DTO, no. How did they spell it in the film?

DTO, I checked, it says "Chelteham Ladies' College". Well spotted.
