Teachers – Season 4
Following the untimely deaths of Matt, Brian and Kurt, it’s left to Penny and Lindsay to make friends with the staff of Wattkins School. This proves tricky. Charming Head of English Ewan is easy to get along with (unless you happen to be Bob), but sarcastic cookery teacher Damien and neurotic R.E. tutor (and confirmed atheist) Ben take a bit more getting used to.
