Porterhouse College is proud of its centuries-old traditions: mediocre scholarship, drunkenness, and decadent banquets. New master Sir Godber Evans (Ian Richardson, Bleak House) is hell-bent on reform; Head Porter Skullion (David Jason, A Touch of Frost) is determined to keep things as they are, and he has plenty of tricks up his tweedy sleeve. Based on the bestselling novel by Tom Sharpe, this hilarious romp through the hallowed halls of British academia won an International Emmy and two BAFTA awards. “The funniest TV series I’ve seen for years”—Daily Express (UK). About 3 hours 20 min.
