Complete, collected episodes from four seasons of the Channel 4 drama set in Summerdown Comprehensive, where the teachers are just as juvenile (if not more so) as the teenagers they are supposed to be educating.

In Series 3, it's business as usual for the young teachers who specialise in immaturity rather than the traditional subjects, as they continue to spend their working life making friends, falling out, trying to figure out the opposite sex, smoking in the playground & dealing with lippy pupils. In series 4, Summerdown Comp has merged with a rival school, Bob (Lloyd Mc Guire) goes in search of a Thai mail-order bride, & the rest of the staff begin to suspect that Penny (Tamzin Malleson) is a Nazi after learning that her real surname is Eichmann. ...
