I agree with Murray about series 3 & 4 Lynda and Frazz are more
friendly. Frazz dispite his previous dislike of the Spike/ Lynda
relationship does see that Lynda is all that will keep his friend in
the country. But by series five thats disintergrated or perhaps Frazz
is being paranoid. Lynda does invite him in on the Winters story and
allow him involvemnt in the Phillipa Prescot fiasco, without sacking
him. I would have like to have seen what Lynda said to Frazz and
Colin in A Quarter to Midnight, when they couldn't hear her.

But where does The Last word fit in ? He seems to vary though out the
two episodes like he's actually developing right in front of the
sceen. What he says to the gun club repreentitive is very clever and
perceptive but some of his coment to Donald are the vintage old Frazz
"Whats your star sign" etc.

Head and Heart always leaves me divided. I think that Lynda did the
right thing. What Mr Winters did was wrong and made him a hypocrite
when he joinded the commitee. But that doesn't meen that he wasn't a
great head master.
