Please Sir!

Please Sir! Is currently streaming in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Shout! Factory Amazon Channel, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. 4 seasons means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 12 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Richard Davies's performance alone is worth the time investment. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Please Sir! Earns its spot. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Please Sir! From the crowd. A hapless but caring teacher tries to control his class of unruly kids. The teacher sees much good and potential in his pupils, much to the dismay of his fellow teachers who have lost hope in these kids. Between them, Richard Davies and Erik Chitty carry the comedy without ever forcing it. The series ran for 4 seasons (1968–1972), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. What keeps Please Sir! From feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Please Sir! Is a strong candidate. Bad Education is the obvious comparison, but Please Sir! Earns its own place alongside it. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Richard Davies sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Please Sir! wrapped up in 1972, created by Bob Larbey and John Esmonde — and 4 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
