Margaret Rutherford Stars: The Happiest Days of Your Life

on BBC One London

Also starring Alastair Sim

The first of three films in tribute to Margaret Rutherford, the celebrated British comedy actress who died recently, the creator of inimitable eccentricity.

When a girls' school is billeted by mistake in a boys' school the outcome is inevitably hilarious. Head-mistress Miss Whitchurch, one of Margaret Rutherford's best known creations, finds an equally eccentric counterpart in Headmaster Wetherby Pond, played by Alastair Sim.
