  Episodes
  Themes
  Like many sitcoms Teachers had certain themes that it maintained through every episode.  These included:
  Appearances of animals, particularly donkeys, in unusual places. Others seen include lions, penguins and sheep. In all such appearances, the teachers and students are completely oblivious to these animals.
  A staffroom scene early in the episode, usually with an announcement by the head teacher Clare to set up one of the plots or premises of the episode.
  The name of the day written in a variety of ways in the scenery, a prop or a body adornment.
  Smoking: a lot of the scenes in all episodes, primarily through the first three series, feature members of the cast smoking as they banter
  The pub is the setting where nearly every episode of Teachers starts, usually with the teachers having immaturely themed conversations.
