Preet the PE Teacher, again


* GymClassHell: Preet van der Plessis' PE lessons. He builds a military assault course and talks about trucking in assault dogs to give the fat kids an incentive to run ''really'' fast. His invective to a mixed class of thirteen year old students - and Alfie - is a master class in PE teacher sadism.

'''Bad Education''' (2012-) is a British sitcom produced by Tiger Aspect Productions for ''BBC3''. It stars Jack Whitehall as young teacher Alfie Wickers – "the worst teacher ever to grace the British education system" – at the fictional Abbey Grove School. Matthew Horne plays Fraser, the headmaster of the fictional school alongside him. It has been suggested that Whitehall's character is a continuation of his "posh twit" persona from ''Series/FreshMeat''.

The series launch broke BBC3's record for the highest-rated first episode of a comedy, which was previously held by ''Horne And Corden''.

Zero Context Example. This trope is often misused and shoe-horned. Plus misuse of Killed Off For Real.

** In season 2 Rosie starts dating a woman, but though it's often talked about we only see the couple together for a few minutes, holding hands. Made all the more obvious because Rosie kisses Alfie twice.
** On the other hand there's the students Stephen and Grayson. Several straight students mention having boyfriends/girlfriends or are seen flirting, but only Stephen and Grayson are seen kissing.
