Skullion contemptuously remembers Sir Godber from his student days as not being a gentleman as he had been educated at a grammar school. Skullion is sacked for insolence by Sir Godber, the new Master, and is forced to leave his home. He appears live on a television programme in which he reveals all of the College's murky secrets, and refers to his list of " 'Skullion's Scholars' ", to the horror of Sir Godber and the College's Senior Fellows, but to the amusement of everybody else.
