Still trying to catch up! Getting there! This week, going all British but I won't be including Grange Hill.
Some Girls
Starting with the more recent, a show about four 16 year old friends in secondary school in South London wouldn't seem like a winner but it's very amusing, especially as knew these characters while at school. It's all about their lives, loves, parties, boys and thinking about the future. Funnier than I thought it would be. There are three series but I only caught the first. So much TV!
Teachers
I was obsessed with this show back in school which is odd seeing as its about a school. Mainly about the useless, terrible teachers that didn't do much except try to get out of teaching and get drunk at the pub but at the same time was very entertaining. I also had a weird crush on Brian the dim but sweet PE teacher which is odd seeing as I loathes PE. I also appreciated the Kurt and Brian duo who acted like an old married couple. The show also had inventive ways of showing what day it was, with 'Tuesday' appearing on someone's top, or 'Thursday' made out of drool. Loved series 2 & 3, but 4 lacked the great cast and went a little too off the wall.
Bad Education
This was another surprisingly funny show with Jack Whitehall as the hapless History teacher (I think) with a class of amazing stereotypes that were also diverse as hell! Matthew Horne was the fantastically over the top headmaster, one to rival the dean in Community. Great series but why oh why did a film need to follow?
