| Plot |
| After barely surviving the trenches of World War I, an embittered young soldier takes a teaching post at Bamfylde, an elite boarding school in teh uplands of West Devon. It is an unlikely job for a Welsh miner's son without a degree, but David Powlett-Hones (John Duttine) proves to be a rare schoolmaster, as passoinate about learning as he is about teaching. Through t two tumultuous decades, Powlett-Jones inspires his students with his courage and idealism, qualitites that help prepare him to send another generation of young men off to fight yet another war. A beloved PBS MASTERPIECE THEATRE classic adapted by Andrew Davies (PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY) from the novel by R.F. Delderfield. |
