Did indeed but lasted until about the last ten minutes, I found it pretty disturbing and a nasty trip down memory lane.

Having been sent to a pretty draconian prep school but thankfully as a day boy it really hit home watching these lads try and settle into boarding.

My lasting memories of this type of environment was it did precious little for the child but did in most cases ensure they went to an even more draconian public school such as Ampleforth.

Where of course they would have had some monks looking after them, but there again we can thank that particular school for Lawrence Dallaglio and many others.

I watched it and felt quite an affinity with it having spent 5 years at Harrow.

I switched over thinking it would be something interesting about young skateboarders or snowboarders only to find it was something dull about posh kids being exiled by their parents.
