The series dealt with the everyday issues affecting both staff and pupils at Strathaird School, and in particular the titular character, idealistic science teacher and housemaster Ian Craig.
The first series was shown over 26 episodes between January 7 1966 and July 1 1966. The second series was shown over 26 episodes between September 17 1966 and March 21 1967.
Only one episode is known to be still in existence in the BBC archives. The opening sequence showed him driving over the Forth Road Bridge, which at the time was newly built and a Scottish cultural icon.Directed byMoira ArmstrongGeoffrey NethercottPeter CregeenPeter SasdyPaul CiappessoniViktors RitelisJames Cellan JonesWritten byJulian BondCastBrian PettiferJohn CairneyLeonard MaguireGuest starsJanet WhitesideHilary Paterson1The Day Before School1966-09-172Early Days1966-09-243The Time Waster1966-10-014Swimmer in a Shallow Cup1966-10-085The Trolls1966-10-156Surgery1966-10-227Period of Adjustment1966-11-058The Good Chemist1966-11-129Sons of McCall1966-11-1910Nurinder1966-11-2611What Made Sammy?1966-12-0312'I'1966-12-1013Fresh Off the Boat1966-12-1714The Pirate Cut1966-12-2415Pressures1967-01-0316The Water Baby1967-01-1017The Tinks1967-01-1718Then There Were Nine1967-01-2419There's Got to be a Fire Somewhere1967-01-3120You Can Choose Your Friends1967-02-0721Stevie1967-02-1422The Day's Run1967-02-2123Chris and the Wheelbarrow1967-02-2824Another School of Thought1967-03-0725The Moffatt Foundation1967-03-1426Two by Two1967-03-21
