The Grimleys

Once again the British do it right. A great series with the lead character Gordon Grimley in love with his neighbor and school teacher Geraldine Titley who herself is dating gym teacher Doug Digby. Rock legend Noddy Holder essentially plays himself as music teacher Neville Holder. Most of the first two series involved Gordon trying to win Geraldine from Doug. Then came Series Three which involved a two year time jump. Without giving anything away Gordon doesn't have to worry about rival Doug Digby anymore but a new rival in the from of wood shop teacher Dave Trebilcock takes his place. The first two series were funny and well written. You felt Gordon's pain as he pined for Geraldine who was with Doug for reasons Gordon couldn't fathom. But then came series three and the time jump which to me didn't help and kind of ruined it a bit. None of the characters were as fun as they were before. But all in all a great series.
