A Class Act

Change is afoot in the usually sleepy village of Risingdale. Gerald Gaunt headmaster of the primary school for over 30 years is retiring. He hopes that his replacement will work with him to secure a bright happy future for the school. But Mr Smart has his own ideas about how things should be run. The teachers have plenty of other dramas to contend with. Tom Dwyer is pining over Janette his one-that-got-away. His colleague Joyce Tranter's new marital bliss is shattered by the arrival of her husband's scheming nephew. And elsewhere in the village Sir Hedley's long-cherished plans for his future are jeopardised by his ex-wife’s arrival. Can the residents of Risingdale pull together and achieve happiness against the odds?
