description: Sent down from Oxford in outrageous circumstances Paul finds himself a position as school teacher at Llanabba Castle alongside a hilarious cast of oddballs, rascals and criminals - posturing as educators! Then Sports Day arrives, and with it the delectable Margot Beste-Chetwynde. A parent of staggering glamour and truly suspect motives and morals, Margot's arrival sets the scene for comedy and entertainment of the highest order. As the farce unfolds and the bright young things run riot, no one is safe, least of all Paul Pennyfeather.
