Radio Times: Review by:; Claire Webb

This week there’s a fight in the playground. Miss Hunter wearily frog-marches the offenders back to her classroom for a lecture while their children look on wide-eyed. Meanwhile, another mum – the over-enthusiastic Aussie – has organised an afterschool “salsa-cise” as part of the head’s unpopular fitness drive. Alas, salsa-cise soon turns into a boxing match…

This school gates-set sitcom boasts a top-notch cast, including Sue Johnston as the jaded Miss Hunter, Joanna Page as a harassed mum and the dashing Tom Ellis as a dad who can’t understand why an unhappy housewife keeps batting her eyelashes his way.

About this programme

2/5. The Pearsons forget who is supposed to be picking Chloe up from school - and when Helen finally arrives, late and with her clients in tow, she is upset to discover her daughter has been involved in a fight with another pupil. Despite the children receiving a telling-off from Miss Hunter, the two mums are far from happy and the false smiles soon give way to their very own playground scrap. Comedy, starring Joanna Page, Tom Ellis, Sue Johnston and Catherine Shepherd.
