John Cleese plays Brian Stimpson, headmaster of an English school, who values punctuality above all else. En route to a prestigious conference where he is due to speak, absurd encounters conspire to delay him. The role is in many ways a reprise of Cleese's eternally exasperated Basil Fawlty of the hit BBC series, Fawlty Towers. Farce-specialist Michael Frayn (Noises Off) wrote the screenplay.
