Based on the Fairacre Series of books by the well-loved author, Miss Read, the action focuses on the Primary School in the village of Fairacre, and Miss Read, the Headmistress. Set in the mid-1950s, this nostalgic drama looks at life in a small village not unlike Redlynch itself! Dealing with the daily complaints of school cleaner and village gossip Mrs Pringle, the steadying hand of caretaker Mr Willet and the failing health of teaching colleague Miss Clare, Miss Read steers a calming course at the school - the heart of the village. However, in their midst is an ever-present threat of school closure and a realisation that change may be on the horizon for the villagers. Be prepared for a special evening as we become spectators to a snapshot of life in Fairacre.
