At Porterhouse College,
traditions?most of which are questionable, to say the
least?rule the day. When Sir Godber Evans (Ian Richardson, Bleak House)
takes over as Master, he resolves to change the lackadaisical atmosphere
and sweep the place clean of its expensive anachronisms. But he meets his
match in Head Porter Skullion
(Sir David Jason, A Touch of
Frost), who?s determined to
keep things just as they are.
There?s an influential alumnus,
Sir Cathcart D?Eath (Charles
Gray, Diamonds Are Forever)
and an earnest research
student, Lionel Zipser (John
Sessions, The Lost Prince).
Winner of an International
Emmy? and two BAFTA?
Awards, this adaptation of
Tom Sharpe?s best-selling
satirical novel provides a
peek inside the old boys?
network of fine education,
puncturing pomposity and
leaving few targets unharmed.
