GrimsbyBE-227-447084 Being English and growing up with such gems as Monty Python, Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore, The Goodies etc. etc.,I just have one thing to say; Big School is just not funny! If this is the best they can do then British comedy is in BIG trouble. I started watching episode one and seriously thought about turning it off but decided I would sit through it, feeling sure it would get better; it didn't. However, I turned the TV on again for episode 2, optimistically thinking that it couldn't get any worse than the previous episode but again I was wrong. At least I had had one little chuckle during the first episode whereas in the second one I never even cracked my face. I am afraid it is now time to throw in the towel, I can't take anymore!

darrhling This is a really great series with marvellous character development. If you went to school in the UK, Big School is definitely worth a watch since there will no doubt be moments which will spark memories (key the science experiments...) You end up growing fond of the people and actually hoping things will go well for them. Lots of laughs; a play of human weakness and desire and ineptitude and the show we put up to make up for all our shortcomings. A slightly lighter, prolonged version of The History Boys - and that is basically as good as it gets in my book.--------- ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- --------- --------- --------- -------- ----------- --------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------- ----------- ----------- ------- -------- -------- --------- ------- --- (filling up extra IMDb lines - ridiculous rule)

ellie_tully2 Hilarious. Very clever, smart comedy! Has me literally laughing out loud every episode, the acting is superb. There is a continuous story line with every episode which is very engaging, the situations are hilarious and the jokes and comments are simply hilarious. Humor is subjective but I think this show is a total winner. I can't wait until its release on DVD! And I am really hoping for future seasons of this show. Tate is just amazing in this show, and all the actors are great. Love the characters they have come up with.....just hilarious! Good job to the creators and I really hope that there are going to be many more seasons.

jamesa0330 What a waste of talent and my time. I want that 30 minutes back! This cast MUST have known they had recorded a plonker ! Truly bad writing...date stereotypes; Drunk teachers, hyper masculine Phys Ed. Teacher, Homophobia gags, misogyny dressed up as humour. Truly unfunny lines - not even bad enough to be described as "inappropriate" humour, just simply silly and not in a "Carry On" way. Was the programme made with ONE camera? Seriously! Each take looked like it was recorded due to actors being unable to recall lines. A series of Edited lines within an inch of their lives does not make a scene! A starry cast wasted! Walliams is simply unfunny ! School report? D- for effort. Will have to do better !
