Staffroom Monologues is a series of four short dramas based on the winning scripts of a Teachers TV competition that received an astonishing 725 entries from teachers, support staff and governors. The programme is introduced by the script-editor and award-winning screenwriter Tony Marchant. In 'The Road Ahead', written by headteacher, Oliver Blond, Gillian Bevan movingly portrays a teacher who blows £30,000 on a new car - but why? The monologue unfolds to find her reasons for the out-of-character decision, looking at her personal and professional relationships along the way. Following this, there's an interview with the author, offering a valuable insight into the thinking behind the drama.
