Episode 3 of 4

Retired English master Dr Henry Pickerskill recalls a pupil set for Olympic glory. Stars Ian McDiarmid. From September 2009.

A pupil with American diplomat parents is denied access to the senior cadets shooting team by the Colonel because he's not a British citizen - even though he is the only hope the school have of winning the prestigious inter-school's shooting cup.

But when he visits Haunchurst as an adult with an Olympic medal for shooting with his US team, the Colonel is totally unimpressed. Why?
