La signora del preside Serie
Questa serie segue le disavventure di un insegnante piuttosto sfortunato la cui vita ordinaria viene costantemente interrotta da eventi inaspettati. Affrontando studenti apatici e una vita personale soffocante, si ritrova involontariamente coinvolto in situazioni drammatiche, comprese indagini della polizia e accuse di omicidio. Tuttavia, con un misto di resilienza passiva, vivida immaginazione e un'arguzia secca e unica, naviga attraverso queste circostanze caotiche. Sono racconti umoristici pieni di commedia situazionale, colpi di scena inaspettati e il fascino distintivo della satira britannica.

Now the wife of Flawse Senior, she has decided that if Lockhart's wealthy grandfather can't have the decency to die on his own, she will take matters into her own hands.
