A genuinely unsettling trip back down memory lane, with a terrifying Terrance Hardiman - The Demon Headmaster: Series 1 review by TB
I was addicted to this series when I was younger. As someone who had certain teachers I detested, I was very easily able to identify with the group of kids battling against their evil headmaster.
Great acting from everyone, but especially Hardiman. Also, when looking back at it now, the level of production values for a children's TV series was amazing, hence why it is so good.
A brilliant and scary watch, with many memorable moments. Definitely rewatch if you remember this as a kid.
