An astounding success for ITV1 on its original transmission (and fondly remembered to this day), Please Sir! featured John Anderton as Bernard hedges, a newly-qualified teacher thrown in at the deep end when he is assigned to sort out the unruly class 5C at Fenn Street Secondary Modern School. Ably helped (and sometimes hindered) by his fellow teacher Doris Ewell and Mr. Price, he has to combat the wiles of school caretaker Norman Potter and the full might of C5.

Please Sir! was one of the first series to be written by John Esmonde and Bob Larbey, who would go on to create successes like Get Some In, The Good Life and Ever Decreasing Circles. This DVD set contains all seven episodes of series one, never previously released in the UK.
