Plot

Set in late 1980s Britain, the prestigious Porterhouse College Cambridge stands as a relic of bygone times, its corridors echoing with the voices of predominantly male and privately educated students. When the College Master meets an untimely end, the government seizes the chance to shake up this bastion of privilege, thrusting forward a surprising successor - Sir Godber Evans. As a rare alumnus from a state-school background, Evans reenters the hallowed halls of his alma mater armed with a mission to modernize it. The once divided, elderly academic staff unite against him, resisting his ambitious plans. However, it's not the professors Evans should be wary of, but the seemingly innocuous Skullion, the college porter. With an inscrutable veneer and ruthless tactics, Skullion emerges as Evans' most formidable adversary in this battle of wills. The series 'Porterhouse Blue' spins a captivating tale of tradition versus progress, set against the backdrop of one of Cambridge's oldest institutions.
