Brian was 30 when he rejoined and 32 when he gained five top marks in his Highers, the equivalent of A-levels.

But a man in his 30s willingly did just that, posing as a teenager to rejoin his old sixth form for two years.

Featuring Alan Cumming as Brian, My Old School is directed by Jono McLeod, who was a 16-year-old classmate of the imposter – who he still calls Brandon – back in 1993. But why did Brian, who had first been a pupil at the academy between 1974 and 1980, conduct such an elaborate hoax? Brian submitted two references to the school, one from Canada and one from London. They were not checked.

Brian told classmates his older looks were down to premature ageing, although he was once almost rumbled for telling a friend he remembered the day Elvis Presley died in 1977 – the year he was supposed to have been born.
