Premise
Robinson Doubleday (Gerry Gallagher) is a bumbling science teacher at Kannabri High School, a co-ed country secondary school in rural Victoria. His girlfriend (and later fiancée) is home economics teacher Jenny Hamilton (Katy Wild).
Supporting characters included Doubleday’s best pal, history teacher Wes “Tobe” Tobin (‘Tobe’) (Allan Lander) and eccentric English teacher Beryl Garney (Kay Eklund), school principal Bates (William Hodge) and students Walter Murdock (Robert Brockman) and Madeline Donetti (Naomi Swart).
Later episodes introduced Tobe’s fiancee, Sandra Hunter (Joy Mitchell) and Jenny’s father (Tony Bazell). Comedian Mary Hardy made a guest appearance in an early episode as ex-Army physical education teacher Phylis McTaggart. The character eventually replaced Eklund’s Beryl Garney from episode 12 onwards.
