Still mad that it ended only because david walliams decided to start a sketch show. how dare he do that to catherine tate. rude.

Is this supposed to be a comedy show ? I struggled through 2 episodes and didn't laugh once ! Am I missing something here ? I'm not surprised as it's written by and stars the over-rated David Walliams. What a load of tosh !I thought I had a good sense of humour, loving the original Porridge, Only Fools, Blackadder, Bottom and stuff like that. This is just a load of tripe in the same league as Jack Whitehall's show . If this is the best we can come up with we are screwed !

This is a really great series with marvellous character development. If you went to school in the UK, Big School is definitely worth a watch since there will no doubt be moments which will spark memories (key the science experiments...) You end up growing fond of the people and actually hoping things will go well for them. Lots of laughs; a play of human weakness and desire and ineptitude and the show we put up to make up for all our shortcomings. A slightly lighter, prolonged version of The History Boys - and that is basically as good as it gets in my book.--------- ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- --------- --------- --------- -------- ----------- --------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------- ----------- ----------- ------- -------- -------- --------- ------- --- (filling up extra IMDb lines - ridiculous rule)

I love this show and so does everyone else I know. It's brilliantly written, the characters are superb. I'm not sure why some people find it so awful but then each to his own. There are loads of so-called comedies on the TV that I find downright terrible and yet others love them. So hey-ho. The teachers in this are brilliantly portrayed. I like all of them but my favourite is played by Phil Glenister. The way he holds his mouth and the way he walks inspire laughs straight away. Perhaps the bad reviewers are taking it all too seriously - maybe they think it is meant to be serious or something. But this is what it is. A very funny play on teachers - making them think and act like competitive children. That's the core of the comedy. I do hope they make another series because I know many people that would love to see it! I think episode five was my favourite.
