Mari Ann Bull

A promising start for a new comedy set around the daily drop-off and pick-up point at a primary school - a minefield of social politics. Mark (Tom Ellis) and Helen (Gavin & Stacey star Joanna Page) and their daughter Chloe (Mari Ann Bull) are new to the area and Helen warns Mark not to get involved with the other parents; "these gates are a jungle," she warns. But an unexperienced Mark proves defenceless as he is lured into hosting a post-school party and giving a presentation to the pupils. Sue Johnston shines as a swinging, single older teacher.
