Definitely a film inspired by its time, you can see At Trinian's written all over it, I'd argue that is no bad thing.
Lots of gags and jokes, plenty of funny visuals, I also like that the story has heart, it's a feel good story.
Firmness pays? Amazing to think it was a time where punishment was allowed in Schools, more discipline, or kids living in fear?
Great casting, first thing you notice is that there's no Sid James, but most of the regulars are here, and on great form. A particularly good episode for Hawtrey and Sims. Lesley Phillips does a fine job, ding dong, Rosalind Knight was great, hard to think that she's still acting. What a beauty, with those deep eyes.
Always wondered why one of the lads had such a familiar look, Harry Bird, turns out it's the brother of Frazer Hines. Keen eyed fans will spot a young Francesca Annis.
My favourite of the black and white films, it's a classic. 8/10.
