Anstey, the pseudonym of Thomas Anstey Guthrie. 13-year-old Dick Bultitude (Paul Spurrier) wishes he didn’t have to return to school, but having made his wish over the magical Garuda stone – a talisman given to him by his Uncle Marmaduke (Jeremy Child) – he finds himself magically transformed into his dapper but pompous 42-year-old businessman father Paul (Peter Bowles) – and vice versa.
