Way Outward Bound
Prismark106 April 2023
It starts off with a parody on Mission Impossible, as the Goodies get a record with their new instructions.

The Goodies get tempted to recruit kids for a new school. They negotiated a rate of £25 for each child for each child they snatch.

They then decide to pretend to be children to enrol at the school. However this school is more of the short sharp shock discipline kind.

The Matron (Joan Sims) is meant to be a man but is very effeminate and shapely.

The master (Bill Fraser) is very much a sergeant major and the school is run on strict military lines. As the Goodies find out when they tackle the assault course.

This is very much a Carry On style knockabout comedy. There might be a subtext about public school discipline.

There is still some investive stuff with babies firing milk bottles. But it seemed to fizzle out suddenly. As the Goodies return to their home as adults again.
