A Very Peculiar Practice was written by Andrew Davies and was inspired by his experiences as a lecturer at the University of Warwick, and it has been interpreted as a commentary on contemporary trends in education. It was one of only two original television series that he wrote.
In 2010, The Guardian ranked the series at number five in their list of "The Top 50 TV Dramas of All Time".
