A series of ten films set in one of Britain's top boarding schools for boys.
'Socials', 'stigs', 'dons', 'pups' - a strange and novel world faces 20 new boys, who have left their prep schools in the shires for Radley College, Oxfordshire - their home for the next five years.
Goodbyes to parents give way to a rich array of experience - social, menial and academic. As dusk falls, in chapel, the Warden of Radley, Dennis Silk, sets before his new Radleians a set of guiding principles for life - a philosophy not so far removed from the convictions of the innovative public school headmaster - Dr Arnold of Rugby.
