Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Please Sir! is a British television sitcom created by John Esmonde and Bob Larbey and featuring actors John Alderton, Deryck Guyler, Penny Spencer, Joan Sanderson, Noel Howlett, Erik Chitty and Richard Davies. Produced by London Weekend Television for ITV, the series ran for 55 episodes between 1968 and 1972. The theme tune "School's Out" was by Sam Fonteyn. Exterior location scenes in the TV series were filmed at Stonebridge Primary School. The title derives from the then-standard request phrase used in Britain when they wish to interrupt a male teacher with a question. ("Please Miss!" when addressing a female teacher.) The series was provisionally titled Rough House before being revised to Please Sir! during rehearsals. Although the series is based around a class of 16-year-old pupils, most of the actors in these roles were in their twenties. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
