The students fall into the too cool for school category and seem only interested in partying and social networking. They provide a backdrop for the comedy but are not really featured as main characters although they seem to have a better grasp on reality than most of the teachers. . David Walliams does his socially inadequate creep routine as the hapless and repressed Mr Church to comedic effect and Philip Glenister as seedy track suited Mr Nunn a is perfectly cast as the PE teacher.
Big School met with a very mixed reaction when it first aired in august 2013. Some critics have slated this new comedy series finding it clichéd, unfunny and politically incorrect whereas others have enjoyed the show and found plenty to laugh at.
Big School on BBC One comes across as an old-fashioned sitcom with more than a nod towards the 70s but there are some truly entertaining moments and some stellar performances from this quality cast
