The Hadleigh series liked to think it was cutting edge by having story lines that were different to what shows were on at the time.
This episode focussed on. Progressive school where the Head Teacher is known by his first name and not sir. The kids took lessons if they felt like it, I think it was based around the Summerhill School.
Whilst an original idea for a TV show, it comes across as too wordy. Then there is the trial where the accused has to name his punishment. Way out, but to have the Head Teacher oil a bike he borrowed from a pupil, it just gets silly.
When you consider there is Jane Merrow from The Prisoner, Len Jones who was the voice of Joe 90, and the actor that played the newspaper owner in Press For Time, the acting skill was there. The plot was not. Not recommended.
