The stories surrounding alcohol abuse, and acting rowdy and inappropriately (that’s not what I think, just what was in the media about her in the last few years). I thought a few of the lines in tonight’s show were close to home: other characters saying she can’t handle her drink and has blackouts when she’s drunk, and her character mentioning the Daily Mail Sidebar of Shame in disparaging terms. Maybe I was just looking too much into it lol. I liked the first episode a lot, looking forward to the rest!
I think there will be a twist but I don’t see how unless the boy is specifically lying and left a voicemail because…I don’t know why because.So we think she did shag a teenager in the bogs??
I thought that about the skirt too! I did see the female teacher look at her disapprovingly and thought she was the Head at first and was going to pull her up on it. Btw, is that teacher the main woman from “My Mad Fat Diary”?
Yup!! I couldn't get my head around that. Last time I saw her she was playing a teenager....now she is a woman with a teenage daughter. Messed with my head a bit!
Im glad you confirmed it because I am notoriously terrible for not recognising actors and I thought it was her but sort of talked myself out of it thinking “no, that show isn’t old enough for her to be a teacher now, surely”
Haha I'm quite impressed with myself as I'm usually the idiot who gets confused who is who in a film if the person changes their hair.Im glad you confirmed it because I am notoriously terrible for not recognising actors and I thought it was her but sort of talked myself out of it thinking “no, that show isn’t old enough for her to be a teacher now, surely”
i think like anything, TV and films exaggerate life, but I don’t think that’s that far fetched and unrealistic in every day life too! If I look back at my teachers (senior school in the late 90s/early 00s) the teachers I thought were cool probably still had growing up to do instead of trying to impress us kids and the ones I thought were boring were probably trying to do their job properly (and frustrated).
I hadn't thought of that. I hope they don't go down that route. But late now if they have obviouslyI really hope that this doesn’t turn out all to be an evil plot by My Mad Fat Diary who is sabotaging her to get the Head of English job
I only realised this when the credits went up. I enjoyed it tonight. I think Sheridan Smith is so like Alison Steadman in it!!
