Review

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

David Parkinson

Inspired by the Sidney Poitier feature To Sir, with Love, ITV's often hilarious sitcom ran for four years from 1968. The members of the original class of 5C were all ready to depart for their own series, The Fenn Street Gang, when this shambolic film version was made, and you can tell that the minds of the ageing teens are elsewhere. In addition, the producers felt the need to shift the scene from Fenn Street School to a dingy holiday camp devoid of amenities and comic possibilities. John Alderton is typically good as put-upon form teacher Bernard Hedges, but what few funny moments there are belong to Joan Sanderson as the headmaster's formidable assistant.
