Can you imagine students that love their headmaster (principal) so much that they try to sabotage his leaving by playing practical jokes when a district(?) team is visiting the school? That's the premise of this, one of the early Carry On films.I can certainly imagine the reaction of the visiting psychiatrist played by Leslie Phillips (Venus) when he saw Miss Allcock played by Joan Sims (The Last of the Blonde Bombshells). I had the same reaction in Walmart yesterday when some young miss in short shorts and a tight Tee walked by a couple of times.Full of the usual Carry On stars and some guests, it is typical British humor at it's finest.

Carry On Teacher is one of the earlier entries in the Carry On series and I found this quite funny.The Headmaster at Maudin Street School plans to apply for another job at another school. As the students like him, they don't want him to leave. They decide to play some practical jokes just as school inspectors are about. They put chewing gum and super glue on chairs, saw a piano leg and make it collapse and launch an experimental rocket. Through all of this, two of the teachers fall in love with each other.This sort of thing never happened when I was at school when the headmaster left! The cast includes some of the Carry On regulars including Kenneth Williams, Hattie Jacques, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Kenneth Conner and Leslie Phillips. With Ted Ray as the Headmaster.Have a good laugh with Carry On Teacher. Excellent.Rating: 3 stars out of 5.

I particularly like this carry On, because it looks at something ordinary and makes it funny. Every child goes to school and you get some that play jokes on the teachers and make life a nuisance. Gerald Thomas and Peter Rogers along with Norman Hudis, scriptwriter of this carry on film have picked up on this and turned it into a comedy carry on film.As usual there is the carry On established cast: Kenneth Williams, Kenneth Connor, Hattie Jacques, Joan Sims and Chalres Hawtrey. They are joined by the marvellous Ted Ray, Rosalind Knight and Leslie Phillips. The children are played by the marvellous Richard O Sullivan who is now residing in a retirement home for actors due to illness, Larry Dann who went on to play sergeant Alec Peters in the Bill on ITV1 and Diane Langton who was uncredited.The film is set in Mauldin Street school, a child psychiatrist has been granted permission to do some research for an upcoming book, he is accompanied by the school inspector Felictiy Wheeler (Knight), they are shown the Maudlin Street hospitality NOT when Stevens (Sullivan) discovers Mr Wakesfield acting Headmaster (Ted ray) is planning to leave the school. They play lots of funny stunts in order for him to stay, find out what happens in this hilarious carry on.

The third Carry On film in the series, Teacher still manages to maintain the gentle, clean fun of its predecessors.Many of the favourites are present here (Williams, Hawtrey, Sims, Jacques, Connor) and are well at ease in the roles they would make their own for the next 20 odd years.Kenneth Connor is a delight as the bumbling science teacher who finds himself falling for the prudish school's inspector while Leslie Phillips is as smooth as he ever was as the well-oiled child psychologist. Ding dong!It is interesting to note here that at this early stage, it is Joan Sims who plays the blonde bombshell in the series - a much different role to the screaming, bawdy characters she would play later.To sum up, Teacher is basically a series of set pieces in which the kids of Maudlin Street School, so desperate for their current headmaster not to leave, set about causing havoc so as to create a bad impression for the school inspectors.Of course it's all harmless, St. Trinians meets Greyfriars fun and there's a happy ending too. In all, a great addition to the series.
