Carry on Teacher (1959 Gerald Thomas)

Series regulars Williams, Jacques, Connor, Hawtrey and Sims are governed by headmaster Ted Ray, whilst school inspected by Leslie Phillips and Rosalind Knight. Pupils (led by Richard O'Sullivan) plan anarchy.

Very mild comedy, like an alcohol-free lager, provokes the odd titter as a result of extraordinary noises or gesticulations performed by cast. Plus usual double entendres:

Knight to gym teacher Sims: "Have you any complaints about your equipment?"
Sims: "Well I haven't had any so far."

Old-fashioned in that both Phillips and Connor want to marry the girls they've just met immediately.
