DVD Description

This DVD features the entire collection of this critically-acclaimed Channel 4 drama Teachers, which is based around the lives, loves and timetables of a group of young comprehensive school teachers in Bristol. An irreverent comedy-drama that continues to steer clear of anything remotely educational or politically correct, the show delves into the lives of its hapless cast of teachers, whom no sane parent would want educating their children.

Teachers stars Tamzin Malleson as the manipulative sex kitten Penny; Vicky Hall as Lindsay, the biology teacher with a healthy disregard for her pupils; Lloyd McGuire as the "new" Bob, having reinvented himself on the cusp of a mid-life crisis; Ursula Holden Gill as squiffy-eyed Carol; Ellen Thomas as scary Liz; and Gillian Bevan as the Head Teacher Clare. Added to these staffroom members are Ben (Mathew Horne), a hypochondriac atheist who teachers religious education; Ewan (Lee Williams), the unwitting heart-throb English teacher; and Damien (Daon Broni), the cynical teacher of food technology.

Synopsis

The fictional Summerdown and Wattkins Comprehensive Schools provide the two settings for Teachers over its four series. The cast includes an eccentric mix of teachers--both seasoned and young--and some rather raucous pupils, whose daily interactions make for loads of very humorous and entertaining incidents. Set as much outside of the classroom as it is inside, Teachers is a contemporary light-hearted series, where the staff find their personal lives just as problematic as their lives at school.

The Guardian

"Sharply scripted, irreverent and wickedly funny"

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful gem of British comedy, 26 Mar 2008
By Rob (London) - See all my reviews
I bought this having watched series 4 during my first year at uni and remembering finding it absolutely hilarious. I didn't know what to expect from the first three series as the characters where different and I half expected it to take a while to find its feet, I was very very wrong. It is an absolute gem from the word go, the first two series rotate around the lives of the same characters with a few added extras for series two, these characters slowly disappear and changes in line up appear for both season three and season four. Now this usually signifies things going very wrong but luckily (and due to the script writers genius) the new teachers are hilarious too. The only negative I would say is that the reason for certain characters disappearences is never quite explained.

Also the fringe characters stay the same throughout and their involvement in the series grows from series one to four, Bob, Liz, Carole and Claire are all genius characters and you can imagine quite true to real life. They are also incredibly loveable and you want to find out where their misadventures are heading next. This is an amazing achievement for bit part players in a series. I would strongly recommend that you purchase this as if you ever bothered turning up for school there is going to be a scenario you recognise somehow and its bound to make you smile when it happens.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish my teachers were like this!, 11 July 2007
By Mr. J. Butler (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was bought this as a Fathers Day present and haven't stopped laughing yet. All 4 series are hilarious and I cant believe that channel 4 stopped making it, it is as funny today as when I was watching it first time around.. As a hint to assist in the humour, if you have never seen this before watch the backgroud, it's often as funny as the main characters.

If this is what teachers are really like, I am worried about sending my kids to school.

An absolutely hilarious steal at this price.

5.0 out of 5 stars I thouroghly enjoyed it..couldn't have enough, By the way I am a teacher :), 30 Sep 2009
When I bouhgt it I didn't know what to expect....now I strongly recommend it to anyone who likes things which are intelligent ,witty, deliberately politically incorrect( without ever beeing offensive or impolite), and great fun to watch.
I laughed myself sick while watching it. Series 2 and 3 are the best.
