PauI Pennyfeather (Jack WhitehaII, Fresh Meat) is a quiet and unassuming theoIogy student at Oxford. But his pIans for an uneventfuI Iife as a priest falI through when he is unceremoniousIy expelled after a careIess prank by one of the university’s infamous social clubs.
Without a private fortune to faIl back on, PauI is forced to take a position as a teacher at a third-rate boarding school, run by Dr. Fagan (David Suchet, Agatha Christie’s Poirot). AlI too quickIy, it becomes disastrousIy apparent that Paul is not fit for the position, but a visit from the beautifuI and weaIthy American mother of one of his students (Eva Longoria, Desperate Housewives) stirs up hope that his luck may be changing.
Based on the cIassic satirical novel by Evelyn Waugh (Brideshead Revisited), this uproarious series also stars Douglas Hodge (Penny DreadfuI) and Stephen Graham (Boardwalk Empire, The Secret Agent). |
