The Headmaster's grand scheme is so ludicrous contrived that it's perfect for the target audience to enjoy.

In 2019, he made a guest appearance in the new reboot of The Demon Headmaster, handing over his glasses to the new man-in-charge. As Blake's desperation and rage leads to imprisoning the Headmaster in the basement, the gang try to take advantage of the situation and incite full rebellion at Hazelbrook. However, while they try to rouse the kids, the Headmaster has a devious contingency plan in place via the tablets he distributed to all the parents.But I think kids would enjoy it, I like the questions in the school contest thingy, although I couldn't get any of them, lol. When is the Demon Headmaster remake coming to TV? Who's in the cast and what's it about?". Radio Times.

The headmaster hypnotizes everyone, but Lloyd and Harvey (as well as a few others) cannot be hypnotized. Before Dinah turns into the headmasters slave, they use her to spy on him.

The first three episodes of series one were adapted from the first book, The Demon Headmaster, and episodes 4–6 were adapted from the second book in the series, The Demon Headmaster and the Prime Minister's Brain.Foster child Dinah is hiding a useful secret when she is housed with the brothers, and finds herself puzzled by her new school, by the immaculately turned out and behaved pupils, by the frankly hypnotic Headmaster, and by her new foster brother's treatment of her... just what is going on? All of the original books in the series were released on audiobook, although are now out of print. Most of the books in the series were read by Judy Bennett, although Facing the Demon Headmaster was read by Kelly Hunter and not Judy Bennett. Also The Demon Headmaster (the first of the series) was read by Terrence Hardiman and released on cassette. One thing I really like to do, is read the same book as a friend. You can find out which parts they found exciting, or frightening. Did they laugh at the same bits as you? And the great thing about it is, that you can read the same book, but have a completely different experience. And unlike the Demon Headmaster's robot pupils, you can think for yourselves.

But when you compare the experience to Dinah's, We all had it pretty easy.

The Demon Headmaster' by Gillian Cross is an exciting story that both boys and girls would enjoy. It is the first of a series of books based on Dinah's war with the headmaster of her school, who uses his powers of hypnotism to try to take over the whole country through television. Dinah and her gang named 'SPLAT', who are immune to the headmaster's powers of hypnotism, plot to stop him. This book is suitable for children of 9 years and above, because of the theme of hypnotism which may be slightly frightening for younger children and because of its reading level.
