Story
English teacher Greg Walker (Grigor Taylor) transfers from the country to Glenview High, a tough high school in Sydney. He clashes with rebellious students Tony Moore (Brandon Burke) and Danny Smith (Brett Hinch ). Despite his toughness, Tony has a grudging respect for Mr Walker while Danny is only interested in being popular with the female students.
Other staff at the school are efficient yet sympathetic principal Margaret Gibson (Elaine Lee), and cynical science teacher Harry Carter (Bill Kerr) who regards all students as the enemy.
Greg's home life is also shown. He moves in with his brother Tom (Ken James), who boards platonically with flight attendant Robbie Dean (Rebecca Gilling) and the ditzy Jill Beamish (Camilla Rountree).
