The main member of the teaching staff, is played by a very tall stand-up comedian,
his character is a sarcastic head of year, disillusioned with education type teacher,
there was another member of staff who turned up in an episode where the school went away on a field trip to the sea-side, and over a few drinks, began to fondle a pupil,
he was led away by the head-of-year with dire threats to the kids should they tell on him.
UK series featured main character Will Mc Kenzie, a formerly privately educated student, forced after his parents break-up to complete his education at an ordinary comprehensive.
There he ingratiates himself with Three boys his age
One of whom lies through his teeth about sex, but hasn't had it,
another who's internet viewing is policed by his parents,
the third (an idiot) who has sex, passes his driving test & achieves things the others cant, all
with apparent ease,
much to their annoyance.
The last one I watched was at exam time,
Will had all his targets plotted out to revise, sat before his notes drinking hi-energy drinks and toatally unable after a few days to recognize the written word before him, let alone comprehend its meaning,
anyway it culminated with an exam in the gymnasium, where finally all the caffeine fuelled revision went horribly wrong after an innocent fart.....
