Thank you Mr Crook. k don't know how old you are, but in case you didn't know "Please Sir" was an extremely popular classroom comedy TV series. As a kid I never used to miss it.

I was still at school while the TV series was on, but I'd left school by the time they did the film

It's great to be young has hip young trendy John Mills trying to persuade Cecil Parker of the wonders of jazz music.

"To Sir with Love"
Sentimental and unrealistic it may be but with the addition of Sidney Poitier it was an image of our education establishments that we were willing to sell to the states.
Maybe less of how it really was more of how we wish to be perceived.
