A new series of ten films set in one of Britain's top boarding schools for boys.
D. F. ('Goldie') Goldsmith, MA (Oxon) and Sub-Warden of Radley is the scourge of the third XI and the ayatollah of the fourth form. He owes his success as coach and pedagogue to his distinctive and eccentric style of teaching - a mixture of abuse, raillery, mock-despair and the unexpected.
For 'Goldie' regulates his realm with a system of rewards and punishments based on cricket, the turf and the fortunes of Ipswich Town Football Club.
But in his 30th year at Radley, 'Goldie' takes stock of his position. Was a seat at the Warden's right hand to be the pinnacle of his career? He applies and is accepted as Headmaster of another school. It is the end of one of Radley's best-loved institutions.
