the happy
valley (bbc tv uk 1989)
the
first scene is a classroom scene with the pretty juanita (about
15), being asked by her female teacher why she hasn`t done her
homework, juanita smirks as some of the other girls laugh, she
then makes her reply in african. the teacher approaches juanita
and says: "your father may be a pier of the relm, and you
may well come from kenya, but you have no idea at all what it
means to be a young lady, hold out your hand." the teacher
then gives her 3 whacks on her hand with a ruler, then comments:
"and you will report to the headmistress for the third time
this week straight after this lesson." the next scene
features juanita being introduced to her new governess (ms.
tapsell), who is an attractive lady herself. the father explains
to ms. tapsell why juanita has been thrown out of school, and
also says that she is a liar and a thief. he then says to
juanita: "well you didn`t think we`d let behaviour like that
go unpunished did you? off to the school house with you." the next scene features the young lady
getting the cane from her governess, her father says
to the
governess: "you`ll find what you`re looking for in the top
of the desk." tappy then goes to the desk and produces the
cane, the father then says: "oh come along ms. tapsell"
tappy then tells the girl to: "bend over please," the
father then says: "over the armchair for christ sake."
the girl then does just that, and tappy then opproaches her and
starts to cane her behind, you see the back of tappy swinging the
cane down and a few pained facual expressions from the girl.
tappy then stops the whacking and the father says: "very
good tappy, but for what i`m paying you i expect a little more,
effort." tappy then has to continue the caning, only harder
this time, and as some of the whacks land the father comments:
"better, much better." the next scene shows the girl
just waking up on a bed, and as she moves grabs her behind and
says: "ow." the next time she is caned she gets 8 of
the best because she was caught spying on a love scene involving
her governess, 
the scene goes straight to her bending over the same
armchair shown from a head on view with her behind raised in the
background, her father gives her a short lecture while kneeling
in front of her stroking her hair, cane in hand, he then hands
the cane to tappy and comments: "i think we might enjoy
this, don`t you tappy?" tappy then aims carefully and starts
beating the girl`s behind, the first stroke is clearly shown
landing, then you see a combination of the girl`s pained facual
expressions and tappy swinging the cane down with all her force.
the final scene is extremely strong, the girl is once again
appearing before her father, and after a lecture he comments:
"tappy, you`ll find what you`re looking for in the hall next
to the clock." tappy then goes away and the father says to
juanita: "well miss, i think this calls not just for
punishment, but for severe punishment, don`t you? you heard what
i said, i said severe." juanita then drops her shorts and
tappy re-enters the room carrying a sjambok. juanita then takes
up her position over
the armchair and the father tells the governess to:
"beat her." tappy then approaches the girl and aims the
whip on her behind covered with just white knickers, at that
moment juanita`s face is shown looking nervous and she shuts her
eyes. tappy then starts to beat the girl`s behind with the father
commenting: "beat her till she starts crying out."
because the girl had been quite brave in the previous beatings.
juanita`s pained facual expressions are shown, and the whip is
also shown at the same time landing on her behind in the
back-ground. after dishing out many hard whacks the father is not
satisfied, he stands up and says to tappy: "give me that
bloody whip." he then takes over the beating dishing out
many more hard whacks to the girl`s behind until she passes out,
this is a very strong scene indeed.
