SMOKING, drinking, swearing and sleeping around - it's not big and it's not clever - and that's just the teachers.

If you thought Grange Hill was progressive, you 'ain't seen nothing yet!

This Channel 4 series, follows a group of 20-something teachers working in a Bristol comprehensive, set both in and out of the classroom.

Starring Andrew Lincoln (This Life's Egg) as English teacher Simon, he doesn't look much older than his pupils, cycles to work on his mountain bike and cadges fags off his class.

In the first episode alone, he sleeps with a policewoman, tries to pull his father's wife-to-be and tells his head of year he wants to bed her.

This is an original drama that is lots of fun and gives teachers a whole new not-so-squeaky-clean image.
