Mr. Nixon

Mr. Richard Nixon was the original headmaster of Galfast High School.

Description
His apparent lack of leadership results in the running of the school being left in the hands of his deputy, Eric Slatt.

Following Nixon's departure after the events in Women and Football, he was succeeded as Headmaster by Mr. J. F. Kennedy.

Behind the scenes
Mr. Nixon was portrayed by John Wells. His replacement by Duncan Preston was prompted by the fact that Wells was too ill to participate in the second series, and died a year after its transmission.
