 Teachers - Series 4 (DVD)
 Teachers - Series 4 (DVD) ... where you get your recommendations, you'll see Teachers described as a comedy, a drama, an irresponsible depiction of the teaching profession and a (fairly) sympathetic reminder of how teachers are expected to be morally unimpeachable despite being ordinary human beings like the rest of us. In fact, it's all of the above, which perhaps does more for the show's realism than all its supposedly controversial elements put together. The series stars Andrew (This Life) Lincoln as the feckless Simon, who, like several of his colleagues, is no more mature or advanced in terms of his ability to manage his own life than his pupils. The staff at the fictitious Bristol school are given to in-fighting, petty factionalism, bad behaviour, inappropriate nookie and dishonesty, both on and off-duty. That said, they also have to wrestle with professional and moral dilemmas and deal with their dysfunctional relationships: sometimes they succeed, often they don't. It makes for a superb, bittersweet concoction. If you want yet more social comment, it's worth noting that the series was filmed in a disused, empty LEA school. --Roger ThomasNewest Review: ...

I have always been a fan of teachers and was addicted to series 1 and 2. Now while Series 4 is defintely worth watching, I must warn that I did find it VERY different from what went before it. At the opening we are reunited with regulars Lindsey, Penny, Carol, Liz and Bob (yes, hes back and even more annoying). Sommerdown has merged with another school and all the action takes place there - The Watkins School. The three male leads, Brian, Kurt and Matt have been replaced with three new teachers at the new school, Ewan, Damien and (I cant remember the others name but he teachers RE and is played by Matt Horne). I wont give all the spoilers away but one thing I ... Read the complete review
Weakest season yet but still good. (160 words)

With none of the main original cast left, I thought that season four was going to be a complete flop. But there are still enough reasons to watch, with Bob, one of the main original secondary characters, as watchable as ever and the mains introduced in seasons two and three still doing a good job in coming in late to the show and the appearance of Kurt and Doug clones managing to entertain enough. It is quite obvious from watching that this is not going to get a fifth series and it is maybe not the send off we would have liked (maybe it should have ended with season three or something could have been done to keep the cast from going - still not entirely sure why they ...

Teachers - Series 4 (DVD): teachers not exactly teaching alot (252 words)

Rating:
having never watched the previous 3 series i have nothing to compare this to and its probably why i really like it compared to those who were fans before. to me this works on the same premise as shameless - exaggerating stereotypes to make for some great fictional fun. yet some people still believe that some of the scenes in the show are actually possible! i just think this is great humour, ok maybe it does take the mickey out of teachers quite a bit, but it should not be taken too seriously. in fact last night i started watching it again as i have this on dvd and i forgot how a lot of the humour is so random! for example, an old teacher trying to get his own back on a ...

'Teachers' is back for a new term, only in this fourth installment, there are quite a few changes. For those of you who haven't seen it, 'Teachers' is a comedy/drama series set in a school in Bristol, and follows the lives of a group of teachers mainly in their twenties. The cast of the show has changed slightly from each series, and in this one it is as follows: Gillian Bevan as Clare aka Mrs Hunter - The tough headmistress. Ursula Holden Gill as Carol Schickelgruber - Clare’s shy, whispering assistant, who has wonky eyes and wears thick glasses. Ellen Thomas as Liz - The sassy, gossipy secretary. Lloyd McGuire as Bob Porter - The roly-poly, ... Read the complete review
