    • Trivia
      Malcolm McFee wears a wig as Craven, as his real hair was considered too short (he had recently been filming Oh! What a Lovely War (1969)) to suit the character.
    • Goofs
      The plan is to send 35 pupils to the summer camp. These would fit on one bus, but on the day of departure two buses are used, and an enormous number of kids appear to be going.
    • Quotes

      Bernard Hedges: I just don't understand you, Price. I look upon the first day of term as one of the peaks of my career.

      Mr. Price: And you've got your graph upside down!

    Why I love this film
    I can't say enough about how wonderful I think this film, and the TV series is. It is just so incredibly FUNNY! All your fave characters are in it - Hedges, played by John Alderton is as gorgeous as ever (yes, I do like him!), Potter the caretaker is played by the hilarious Deryck Guyler and the hopeless headmaster Cromwell is played by Noel Howlett. Not forgetting the pupils of 5C of course! This is a must for all fans of the show, and it explains how Bernard met Penny for the first time. All teachers must watch this film! EVERYONE must watch this film!
