David Starky returns to Dream School a changed man

The school of second chances this week welcomed teacher David Starky back after the historian got into a war of words with a pupil in his first lesson.

At a meeting between Starky and the acting head, the historian claimed Connor had started the argument by calling him short and he had retaliated by telling him he was fat. 'My memory is accurate' he said. Whereas it was actually Starky who started the whole thing. He then gives the acting a head a history lesson on why he is short, which is apparently down to a condition with his feet as a child.The conclusion of the meeting is that Starky will give it another try, and he even apologises to Connor. Even more shocking, the historian speaks to teacher Jazzy B, music, to ask how he can engage with the pupils. Surprisingly his hard work pays off and the pupils listen intently to his lesson. Some claim it's the best lesson yet, pat on the back to Starky.

Along with Jazzy B, the new additions to the Dream School are fashion photographer Rankin, who showcases the pupil's artistic talents with a project that sees them destroy a self-portrait, Alistair Campbell, whose debate continues in the playground with Jenny and Georgie scrapping. Even Jamie lends a hand and holds a cookery lesson, but not before taking away the teens' mobile phones.

Simon Callow continued to attempt to teach the pupils Shakespeare to his detriment. A trip to the theatre to see him perform, meant as a treat, went horribly wrong as the pupils disruptive behaviour ruined the night for the rest of the audience leading to abuse from the theatre goers. Even worse, was that the night's antics were fuelled by a bottle of vodka the teens sneaked into the theatre and drank. And it seems the trouble has only just began as next week, pupil Harlem threatens one of her fellow pupils during a lesson.

Clearly Jamie doesn't realise what he's got himself into.
