About the Show

Summary of Plot

Series following four Year 8 pupils – Billy, Tahj, Emily and Jasmine – as they grapple with everyday life at an extraordinary school. With the voiceover from our narrator, BBC Breakfast’s Bill Turnbull, adding some wonderfully unnecessary gravitas to the proceedings. Memorable characters, repeatable catchphrases and laugh-out-loud comedy combine to create a unique, funny new series. – IMDb
