Schoolgirl Chums

on BBC Two England

by Peter Glidewell
A jolly hockeysticks story of the 30s starring and featuring
When Colonel Dayne is drafted on a secret mission, his daughter Alison is forced to continue her education away from home for the first time. At her new boarding school she finds a life charged with unwelcome dramas and puzzling situations. Why is the Second Mistress so unfriendly? Why does her classmate, Maud, become such a sneak? And who are the strange ' foreign-sounding ' gentlemen who dog her footsteps wherever she goes? The adorable Miss Devine has the answers - but only Alison's two new-found chums, Hil and Jen, can make the Christmas term at St Ursula's bearable.
