It was originally produced in the beginning of 1987. It was so negatively received that only the first two episodes were transmitted.

Plot and episode titles

The series is set in the large comprehensive school of the title, the staff of which are as dysfunctional as the pupils. One teacher is a multiple murderer while the deputy headmaster lusts after male pupils. One teacher, Moose Magnusson, is on an extended exchange placement because his own school in Iceland refuses to have him back.

Production and curtailed broadcast

The series was extensively trailed and also mentioned on the front cover of the TV Times for the week of the first two episodes: a double-length premiere and a regular episode, which were shown on consecutive Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

Later episodes were scheduled for subsequent Wednesdays, but the public and press outcry against the series was so great that it was pulled and replaced with repeats of Chance in a Million before the third episode was aired. The decision to pull the show was taken at such short notice that TV Times was unable to change its listings and the Hardwicke House feature.
