Rename[edit]

This page needs to be re-named Teachers (Comedy Drama) - it is widely accepted that the programme was comedy-drama rather than a sitcom. The BBC and Channel 4 classify it as such.

Well spotted, I've moved it to Teachers (TV series). --Commander Keane 12:01, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

4 or 5 seasons?[edit]

In the opening paragraph, it notes that channel 4 says that it would not continue after the 4th Season, the character listing only go up to 4 seasons. However 5 seasons of original airdates are there, as does it say that all 5 series are out on DVD. I think some continuity is needed here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.193.60.36 (talk) 20:30, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

Christmas special[edit]

What was the Christmas special? The date referenced (21 December) doesn't indicate the year, so it's unclear where it is set chronologically in the Teachers timeframe. Also, was this included on any of the DVD releases? Essexmutant 13:23, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Another Title Change[edit]

There is a new American sitcom with the same title - Teachers (US). Time to change this to Teachers (UK)... --relaxathon 16:39, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. I've just moved it from Teachers (TV series) to Teachers (UK TV series). I expect the new American show be located at Teachers (US TV series).--Commander Keane 16:49, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stephen?[edit]

Anyone know what Stephen's surname is? He's a supporting character from series 1, the one Simon lives with for a very short time (a single night, IIRC?) after moving out of his dad's place. I was thinking of adding a character description to the page. Nova Prime 07:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Donkey[edit]

there was often a donkey in the school, was this a reference to grange hill? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.42.118.16 (talk) 00:01, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actors/Characters[edit]

Why are all the names in this article actor first character second? I think it would make more sence to have it the other way round. If your looking for a character in the show you will look for there character name before the actor that played them surly?--Prophesy (talk) 23:17, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actors Main versus Supporting[edit]

I don't see why some actors who were in for one series are "Main" actors e.g. Lee Williams in Series Four, whereas other characters such as Zoe Telford are "supporting" actors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.7.170.122 (talk) 01:22, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Background Information[edit]

Does anybody know any of the background to the production of the series? What I mean is why did main characters just disappear without warning? Why did characters disappear in the middle of the series (season)? Teachers was brilliant but little things like this are frustrating.--Xania ^talk 18:35, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Intro theme song[edit]

Can anyone confirm what the intro theme song is? I'm only going off memory here as I don't own the DVD's.

My memory is that the show starts off with an opening theme song similar to perhaps "Wouldn't it be good" (Nik Kershaw).

I am sure that the opening song is not "The boy with an Arab Strap", but I can not find any information to the contrary.

The only thing i'm sure of is that the theme had sax in it. I'm not even sure it was Teachers to be honest.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Podraigporridge (talk • contribs) 16:06, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
