That'll Teach 'Em :Boys versus Girls

Yes!! It is back for a third and probably final series.

The third Channel 4 series of That'll Teach 'em returns to the 1950's for a second time.

For this series the fictional school is called the Charles Darwin Grammar School. For this series the location was moved from The Royal Grammar School in High Wycombe to a new location in Ipswich.

The third series tackles two issues this time. Firstly it studies whether single sex classes (hence the Boys versus Girls title) are better than mixed classes.

 Today boys are falling further and further behind girls in today's exam tables! Will the single sex classes improve the boys education or will the girls open the gap further?

The second issue is the current lack of interest in the sciences!

Is it because of health and safety stopping the more  practical approach to teaching? This series has thrills, spills and explosions in the science lab. 

With a practical, 1950's education imposed, competition runs high between the boys and girls.

One familiar face missing from the staff for this series is Mr. Austin Vince who was taking a summer off. (Rumour has it to get married).

However Pat Crowe returns again as the very strict Matron to care for the pupils. The one member of staff that has appeared in all three series.

Simon Warr, the Latin teacher from the first series, returns in this third series as The Headmaster of Charles Darwin Grammar School.
