Just catching the first episodes of S2 having missed S1 altogether. Two episodes in and been in tears twice. What a wonderful programme, recommended!

It's all fun and games until you find out the Povey was a bit of a chancer.

I know what an idiot, donating all of his appearance fees and book sale cash back to the school and then offering to work for free for a year.

What he did for the young kid with dyslexia was fantastic.

Looks like he was a naughty boy, although it was filmed over 3 years ago.

Thought it was an overreaction on the kid that had the blunt training knife, he'd have done more damage if he'd brought a potato into school.

Also it showed proof that banning sugary snacks doesn't work, the lengths the kids had to go to hustle a Kinder Bueno. I left school nearly 15 years ago and it's incredible how they don't even have vending machines in a lot of schools now.

My school going back to about 2006 had 8 Coke vending machines in the same block and another one down at the Art department had Red Bull, Lucozade and Powerade in it.
