This hugely popular comedy-drama series comes new to Trouble this month, after its critically- acclaimed run on terrestrial telly. Criticised as controversial yet praised for its realism in equal measure, this unique UK series is hugely entertaining.

The show’s central character, feckless English teacher Simon (Andrew Lincoln), spends most of his time goofing off with his colleagues Kurt (Navin Chowdhry) and Brian (Adrian Bower) instead of concentrating on more pressing professional matters at hand. No more mature than most of the pupils they teach at Bristol- based Summerdown Comprehensive, and just as desperate to seem cool to their peers, when the teachers aren’t discussing their dismal love lives or compiling sex wish-lists, they’re normally to be found smoking in the toilets or sneaking off to the pub.

Combining compelling character-driven storylines with risqué humour and blunt one-liners, and throwing surreal touches and a Britpop soundtrack into the mix, Teachers gives viewers an insight into what life for school staff members can be like beyond the classroom: full of in- fighting, bad behaviour, illicit relationships and dishonesty.
