Summary of Porterhouse Blue
Based on the best-selling novel by Tom Sharpe, this wry take on life in Cambridge stars the renowned Ian Richardson as Sir Godber Evans, the newly appointed headmaster of Porterhouse College who gleefully thumbs his nose at the school's traditions and ruffles the feathers of stuffy head porter Skullion (David Jason). Wickedly sardonic and subtly subversive, this BAFTA Award-winning series is one of Britain's most popular.
