[Denver]

Following the success of previous series set in Essex, Yorkshire, East End and Cardiff the fly on the wall series returns this time set in Greater Manchester.

The fifth series was filmed at Harrop Fold in Little Hulton Salford, it captures every detail of life in a modern school.

You can spot the UKIP families' kids a mile off based on their responses

Glad this is back btw :love:

Oh the Mail will love allahu akbar

[Wizard.]

:joker:

[Jack_]

Oh wow Show Me Love? These kids have good taste in music already

[Wizard.]

Oh not racism!

[Braden]

****ing hell, it's all kicking off isn't it. It's quite surreal because this sort of thing never happened at my school.

[Daniel-X]

Haven't watched Educating since Yorkshire but as I'm a Greater Manchester girl myself, I shall be watching.

[Jack_]

It's been 30 minutes and already you could microanalyse these kids' confessionals and interactions with each other to the minutest detail and draw all sorts of conclusions about the influence of the media

Hate is learned, folks!

Why is it 'Greater' Manchester btw? It doesn't roll off the tongue as easy as the other titles

[Wizard.]

Screaming at the headmasters telling off!

[Wizard.]

Why is it 'Greater' Manchester btw? It doesn't roll off the tongue as easy as the other titles

Oh because they couldn't just say Educating Salford could they? The media would never portray Salford as a city in its own right :skull:

[Daniel-X]

Why is it 'Greater' Manchester btw? It doesn't roll off the tongue as easy as the other titles

Probably because Salford isn't a well known area like Yorkshire/Essex/Cardiff/East London (they're all generalised mind except Cardiff and Essex)

[Denver]

We need a brum one

[Daniel-X]

Maybe the Greater Manchester one should've been in Wigan so I could've been on CBB?

[Wizard.]

Oooh he can tell me off!

[Jack_]

:joker: :joker: :joker: :joker:

I love how even he finds it funny, the whole thing is a charade

[Jack_]

lol I have visions of him walking out of the office like

:joker: :joker: :joker: :joker:

I love how even he finds it funny, the whole thing is a charade

I know he's got to act all authoritative with the walk and the stern voice and those lads are sh*tting themselves :joker:

Oh I see :laugh: thanks!

[Denver]

Mess at it being filmed so recently i thought it was last year

[Wizard.]

Oh no :( this is bringing back trauma :bawling:

[AnnieK]

Aw I forgot this was on. I lived gor a while in Little Hulton where its filmed. Should have been educating Salford. A lot of proud Salfordians will be pissed to be classed as Greater Manchester lol

Would love to be a fly on the wall in a staff room, I bet most teachers find most incidents funny

[Morgan.]

We need a brum one

Yes

[BBUK-Fan]

Rani and Jack's friendship is adorable

Rani and Jack's friendship is adorable

I know it melted my heart at the end </3 Wish I had a good mate like that when I was in Year 7

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

does anyone else find the headteacher hot

[Jay28jay2]

does anyone else find the headteacher hot

Yes :skull: our headteacher was a fat greedy irish bloke who then left us to concentrate on another school in the area that was struggling and joined us together. the 'new headteacher' (but i never classified him as one because he was more or less the deputy in my eyes) was just a lanky twat who had no personality and couldn't run the school properly

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

:skull:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

are muslim's really not allowed to touch dog's btw D: the lil guy said that at the start

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

islam cancelled if that's t'case!

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i'm watching on 1+ and the ending when they were at jack's house for tea :bawling:

heartbreaking </3

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

in a good way i mean

[smudgie]

Loved it.
Watched them all. I love to see the kids grow in personality over the series.

[Wizard.]

That shocked me! Although not really I was wondering why a girl wearing a hijab ran away from my dog when it went up to her.

Speaking as someone with a similar role to Mrs Bland and who has been a TA ... can confirm ;)

[y.winter]

Finished this series last week and it was brilliant as usual. Leon :clap2:
A great fan of the Educating series, and I read they're doing two more series in Harrop for the first time - so it's wonderful news.

Started watching now Indian Summer School which is currently on C4. Does anybody else watch it? It's a different production and concept, but C4 and education-related factual series turns out to be a pretty good combination.

[Wizard.]

Oh yeah for the first time they’re doing a second Educating GM at Harrop Fold it was such a success x

[Jack_]

I'd rather them have returned to Yorkshire tbh, that's still my favourite series

The good thing about this though is there's more time to see the stories of the same students and staff
