The Eggy Doylers

By Jane Purcell. Riotous comedy set in the un-PC 1970s. It's 1979, and child-hating PE teacher Peter Gunn finds himself leading a school biology field trip from hell.

by Jane Purcell

A saucy comedy about the pre-PC age. It's 1979, before the National Curriculum, lesson plans or risk assessment forms. In those heady days, when flares were still fashion items rather than emergency equipment, child-hating PE teacher Peter Gunn finds himself leading a school biology field trip which veers a long way from the straight and narrow educational path.
