Anyone out there remember the brilliant TV adaptation of The Demon Headmaster? Based on the books by Gillian Cross, three series were made in all, running to 19 episodes between 1996 and 1998. And now – finally! – they’re all being released on DVD.
Terrence Hardiman starred in the title role, of course, and he’s been involved in the DVD release of the show.
The three-disc set is available to order now, with a release date set of May 14th. You can find the set up for order here: The Demon Headmaster DVD.
The official synopsis reads:
Terrence Hardiman (Doctor Who) stars as megalomaniac The Demon Headmaster. It’s good versus evil at St Champions school as he plans to use otherworldly hypnotic powers to take over the world!
However, he does not count on the resistance of his unruly pupils, who together form SPLAT (The Society for the Protection of our Lives Against Them), a taskforce training to resist hypnotic powers. But they will have to act fast because once the Demon Headmaster has the pupils under his power his next target is Downing Street.
As term progresses SPLAT realise their adversary is a wily and dangerous enemy. Who will come out on top? The future of St Champions School and the universe is at stake!
And finally, here’s the DVD sleeve…
