Saison 4
9 épisodes · 2004
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.
1Episode One
Summerdown has merged with another school and it’s all change for the teachers. Bob is struggling to adjust: he’s been demoted, and his new boss seems to be a hit with the women.
2Episode Two
Penny makes a pass at Ewan, but it all ends in humiliation. Meanwhile, Ben is ordered to babysit some pensioners who are visiting the school which forces him to confront his own prejudices.
3Episode Three
Ewan is thrown into turmoil when he finds out that a pupil, John, fancies him. All his attempts to handle the situation sensitively backfire horribly.
4Episode Four
It is Obesity Awareness Month and Ben becomes obsessed with Lindsay’s weight. It’s purely selfish, of course; he’s worried her death would be bad for his own stress levels.
5Episode Five
It’s Religious Tolerance Week and the teachers prepare to represent their allocated religions at the Tolerance Fair. Meanwhile, Bob finally takes delivery of his new wife.
6Episode Six
After discovering Penny’s real surname is Eichmann, the others take pleasure in winding her up. She’s blonde, she hates foreign food, she has no black friends—could she be a racist?
7Episode Seven
No sooner has Damien announced that he doesn’t need a girlfriend, than he falls for the substitute teacher Anna. But an unfortunate incident with a pupil and an icing bag has rendered him impotent.
8Episode Eight
While trying to get out of Bob’s stag do, Ben is reminded of a ouija board prediction: he’s going to die on Friday. Then he sees a miracle. So God must exist, and there’s an afterlife to contend with.
