Jenny, Susan + JP diasappearing in series 3?

I'd agree. Teachers come and go in schools. They give in their resignation they leave. The next term or year comes along and you can do nothing but get on with it. Occasionally they refer to the others as I'm sure teachers would do, but you deal with what is there. I remember my favourite teachers at school, when they used to leave. I'd miss them, but the next year you just get on with it. It's only when you hear news like 'so and so is having a baby' or they come back to visit that you go 'oh yeah, I've missed'. The way of school life I suppose. It's the same when pupils leave.

The woman who played Susan is now playing yet another 'Susan-ish' character in 'Moving Wallpaper' (Friday nights, ITV 1 / UK Channel). She looks good though and she's still good at what she does. Think she pairs well with Ben Miller, they bounce well off each other, especially in sarcastic mode.

Have to say I am currently re-watching all of teachers on Channel 4 OD and it's really good, very much enjoying it but like a lot of people, I do wish that they hadn't lost Susan and Jenny and JP in one fell swoop and then provided no real back story to it or explanation and the loss of Kurt and Brian was just pants, there didn't seem to be a transistion, it almost felt like a completely different series.

I could be wrong, but I think it's the only programme of it's type to have been commissioned that many times by the channel, I do remember something along those lines being commented at the time.

I still love this series though!!
