What happens

Late For School is an Australian television comedy series which screened for a single season on Network Ten in 1992. The series is centred around Kathy Price, who returns to study at the school where she was educated sixteen years previously. This provides much embarrassment to her two teenage children who attend the school. The series is notable for introducing a number of young actors who went on to have success in other Australian television series such as Melissa Thomas, Matthew Newton, Stephen Curry, Anthony Engelman and Scott Major. The series was produced by John Holmes, directed by Tina Butler and Riccardo Pellizzeri and written by Rob Menzies and Rob Caldwell. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
