Hope And Glory - Complete Series 1 And 2 DVD

Can one man save a dying school?

Lenny Henry received critical acclaim for his performance as a charismatic headteacher in three compelling series that weaved drama and romance in a frighteningly accurate portrayal of an inner-city school.

When prominent headteacher Ian George hands in his report on Hope Park school, a failing inner-London comprehensive, he recommends its closure. The staff are demoralised, pupils are disaffected and there is a constant struggle against under-funding. But when challenged to turn the school around, George realises it is time to test his own principles and beliefs.

Will he succeed in proving that the right teachers, with the right attitude can rescue the school? Or will his carefully crafted theories collapse around him, bringing the school down with them?
