* HarsherInHindsight: In TheMovie, Price gleefully sings "When this rotten camp is over/oh happy I shall be!/I will buy a new machine gun/and annihilate 5C!" Funny in 1971, but come the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunblane_school_massacre Dunblane School Massacre]] in 1996, where 16 children were murdered, all of a sudden no-one's laughing...

** On the same topic, in David Ffitchett-Brown's introduction episode ("David and Goliath") he brings
a sudden no-one's laughing...rifle to school, tells his pupils he killed 25 at his last school, and uses it to threaten Mr. Dix into resigning. While it was unloaded, such a thing would be unthinkable in the modern day.

Added DiffLines:

* ValuesDissonance:
** The series takes a very '60s approach to how the education system is portrayed, notably caning is often referred to, Hedges gets physical with a few of his pupils (usually Abbott and never anything worse than a DopeSlap to the back of the head), and teachers and pupils alike smoke on school property.
** Minority groups such as foreigners and homosexuals are viewed in a negative light by characters such as Potter and the parents.
