Tempers flare as old school rivalries rear their ugly heads!
Synopsis
It is 1995 and ‘A’ stream pupils from the Alderman Woodrow Secondary Modern School years 1960 to 1970 are having a reunion. Initiated by Wendy Parkhurst each member has been requested to wear St. Trinian style outfits or short trousers, shirt and tie for the men.
Set in a village hall, with a three course meal, comprising “School Dinner” type food, the ex. Pupils catch up with each other. Old rivalries surface jealously abounds as the more successful pupils brag, and long seated hatreds bubble up.
One of the pupils, Kathy Smallville, has become an internationally famous film star under the stage name ‘Katarina Katya’ and is expected to show up.
Excitement mounts as news of her arrival spreads throughout the hall. When she enters it is noted that she is very expensively dressed. No St. Trinians for her!
The members mix with the guests for pre dinner drinks and gossip spreads like wildfire as they tell of their schooldays.
Dinner is called and all take their seats at the table. First course is served and all tuck in.
After a few moments the actress rises, chokes and collapses to the floor. One of the party is a doctor who pronounces her dead.
The body is carried to a back room with all the members leaving the guests to finish the first course.
A police siren is heard and after a while (whilst the main meal is being served) enter DCI Sherbert Holmes.
