1977 - FORMER SCIENCE MASTER FIGHTS EVICTION. Former Science Master MR. PHILIP CHEETHAM, 57, wired up for action in the Lab of his condemned home in Brownhills, Staffs, where he is facing eviction. Walsall Council want to demolish his end-terrace house and redevelop the area, but Mr. Cheetham-schoolboy boffins call him The Professor-has turned the place into a fortress with closed circuit television to warn of intruders and aluminium-lined walls electrically charged to give them quite a shock. His secret weapon against invading bailiffs is a plastic mix which he says, will cascade on them and set hard in five seconds; They will be unable to move'. Hidden microphones record every word outside the house-and, no doubt the comings and goings of the bulldozer. PHOTO SHOWS MR.
