A group of schoolchildren set up a police force to stand up to the school bullies but things soon get out of hand..

Edgar is a nice, normal, clever 11-year-old - and he's had enough of being bullied. He organises the other children into a police force, and they set out to bring justice to the school. Their law-and-order game is such a success there are no more 'criminals'. But the story takes a sinister turn when an unpopular teacher publicly humiliates Edgar and he decides revenge is rightfully his.

Screen One 1985–2002 TV Series
Anthology of unconnected movies of different genres.
Producer Kenith Trodd was part of a 1984 team brought together to study how the BBC should respond to Channel Four's pioneering efforts in making movies for television and theatrical release. The result was a transition from the earlier concept of studio-made plays, such as Play for Today (1970) and the introduction of the new BBC anthology movie series, this show and Screen Two (1985), with Trodd's supervision of the initial group of titles in 1985.

00:03:32He was a very religious man
00:03:34and knew God's will more than any other man
00:03:36especially the king who was very nearly a Roman Catholic
00:03:39when his head was chopped off
00:03:41when the king was dead, he said
00:03:44he didn't want to be king
00:03:45and became the Lord Protector instead
00:03:48this was called a dictatorship

00:04:26and how he looked
00:04:27and he didn't have any friends
00:04:29he was very strict
00:04:31many of the things that Cromwell achieved
00:04:33is still with us today
00:04:36the Irish people hated him
