NJ - The Bad Teacher 3

Looks like this was a popular subject this week and then there was nothing on it in this week's episode. The joys of a changing news agenda during the week.

A very simple, silly sketch that lives or dies by the punchline.

------------------------------------------------

(THE SCENE IS A PRIMARY SCHOOL CLASSROM WITH A TEACHER WHO HATES HIS CLASS. THEY'RE GOING ROUND THE ROOM TRYING TO SPELL)

ANNA:D - E - S...

TEACHER: ( ANNOYED) Wrong! Bruce, you try.

BRUCE:D - I - S - S ...

TEACHER: No! No! It's just one S. Carol?

CAROL:C...

TEACHER: ( SIGHS) My hopes weren't high but even by your standards Carol that was dreadful. Can you do any better David?

DAVID:D - I - S - A - T...

TEACHER: Thought not. Erin? (FADES OUT)

TEACHER: ( FADES IN AND DESPAIRING) Rebecca?

REBECCA: D - I - S - A - S -S...

TEACHER: One S! One S! How many times do I have to say it? Sam?

SAM:D - I - S - A - S - T ...

FX:SCHOOL BELL RINGS

TEACHER: Okay class, I've had enough for today. I'm not going to tell you the answer so we'll do this again tomorrow until someone gets it right. But for now just get out of my sight.

(CUT AWAY FROM CLASSROOM)

MILES:Looks like the chair of Ofsted was right. (BEAT) A bad teacher doesn't spell disaster for his class.

THE END

Massive groan from me. Which, in some ways, I think you believe you are looking for.

The fade in/out bit worked really well!

Dan

:D

Twas ok. Neither fantastic or shit.
I wanted something more at the end as I enjoyed the way it was written up until then. I felt a little let down. Do another one!

My work here is done. ;)

Or maybe I should stop being inspired by The Now Show / I'm sorry I haven't a clue.
