Inside No. 9 - The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge review

All jokes aside, comedy really can help in classroom

So can teachers raise the humour bar? It's tricky. I meet lots of teachers who, when chatting with me "off stage", are a hoot. Then minutes later with their teaching hat pulled down a little too firmly, all larks disappear.

Inside No. 9 - The 12 Days of Christine review

Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith's The 12 Days of Christine was revelatory, even for them.
