An unruly bunch of bright,funny sixth-form boys in pursuit of sex,sport and a place at university.A maverick English teacher at odds with the young and shrewd supply teacher; a headmaster obsessed with results; a History teacher who thinks he's a fool.Staffroom rivalry and the anarchy of adolescence provoke insistent questions about History and how you teach it; about education and its purpose.
