Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDespite having a major role as Detective Inspector Campbell's (Gordon Jackson) right-hand man Sergeant Harvey, Sam Kydd is missing from both the opening titles and end credits cast list.
- GoofsWhen the inspector says "O wad some Power the giftie gie us/ To see oursels as ithers see us! " is Shakespeare, it isn't- it's Robert Burns. Maybe it's meant to be a joke though- given he's a Scot himself, explaining it to an Englishman.
- Quotes
[Miss Halstead takes Campbell and Harvey to the girls' cloakroom where there are rows of pegs, each with a canvas bag hanging from it]
Sergeant Harvey: Shoebags!
Detective Inspector Campbell: You take the left row and I'll take the right row.
Sergeant Harvey: [sings] "And I'll be in Scotland before..."
[Campbell, a Scot, gives Harvey a withering look for this facetious remark]

Featured review
Petty Intrigues
Produced by former director Victor Hanbury, who died the following year shortly after 'fronting' for the blacklisted Joseph Losey on the even more histrionic 'The Sleeping Tiger'. This is also a fascinating artefact from the buttoned-down early fifties (with a conclusion involving assisted suicide that possibly encountered problems with the censor), adapted by Maisie Sharman from her own novel 'Death in Seven Hours' (1952), published under her pseudonym Stratford Davis.
Set in a girls' school in which the repressed passions of both staff & pupils have long ago reached boiling point; murder being the result (an outlet already manifest in the psychotic violence being displayed by the belles of St. Trinian's)!
