channel5 9pm tonight The Teacher

I will watch anything that Sheridan Smith is in, fantastic actress. Four Lives was excellent, you can still watch this on I-player.

On again tomorrow night when the full inpact of the drama will kick in......tonight was just setting the scene.....got a bit impatient with it tonight.

I enjoyed it. I can't imagine my teachers doing anything but go home to mark papers and then bed with a mug of Ovaltine, but that's because everyone thinks their teachers are ancient and boring , and they only show one side of their personality to their pupils.

I can, however, easily imagine teacher friends I've had over the years having too much wine and partying hard. Not having sex with a pupil, though, but that's yet to be proved in the drama.

I was looking forward to watching ‘ The Teacher’ as I am a fan of Sheridan Smith. Sadly I was disappointed , just couldn’t settle into watching , it simply did not hold my attention.

Will give it another go but disappointing. The staff and pupils seemed unbelievable to me.

Hmm.

Can’t imagine any of my old teachers living it up at Lazarus night club.

Sheridan Smith always seems to play this type of troubled, boozy, angst-filled female.

Seemed to jump about quite a bit, from one scene to another.

Will see what tomorrow’s episode turns up.

so good to see Kelvin Fletcher in a good role after emmerdale which he left some years ago.

She is in lots of stuff at the moment, after a gap of a couple of years. Did she have a baby?

I hope ‘The Teacher’ is good, and not the usual let down after a few promising trailers.

Yes, ‘Trigger Point’, I’m looking at you.

Isn't she in another one soon? I'm sure I've seen one advertised where she is the mother of a teenage boy accused of assault. Maybe I've drempt it

Sheridan is a wonderful actor and singer. She used to do dance festivals when my DD did them although she’s older. But of course she won everything she’s so talented. We will be watching as we do with everything she’s in.
