TV Drama: Vice Versa
Vice Versa started as a novel by F. Anstey
and has been made as a movie at least four times and a televisions series,
three times.
In this 1981
television version, an elderly father and wealthy stockbroker Paul
Bultitude cannot understand why his eldest son Dick is reluctant to return to his Victorian boarding
school after a holiday. Paul recalls the carefree days of his youth and
casually wishes he could take Dick’s place. He just happens to be holding a
magic stone at the time and his “wish” is granted. When Dick realizes what has
happened, the neglected boy uses his wish to take on his father's appearance,
eager to enjoy the perks of being an adult.
Of course, school is no fun as the father quickly discovers. The headmaster
is played by Iain
Cuthbertson and Dick by Paul Spurrier.
