Teachers series 1 and 2 were the best things on TV but after Simon left it began to go downhill I thought... It got a bit over the top in the way that before they had little silly things in the background but by series 4 there were just things happening everywhere... but maybe that's just me!
it wasn't the same after Simon left I agree (hmmmm Andrew Lincoln). The first two series were really about him. Then when they killed off Brian and Kurt, what was that about!!! Didn't like the lot that was left in the last series, they just couldn't carry the show.
