Please Sir! is a British television sitcom created by John Esmonde and Bob Larbey and featuring actors John Alderton, Deryck Guyler, Penny Spencer, Joan Sanderson, Noel Howlett, Erik Chitty and Richard Davies.[1] Produced by London Weekend Television for ITV, the series ran for 55 episodes between 1968 and 1972.[2]
The theme tune "School's Out" was by Sam Fonteyn.[3][4]
The title derives from the then-standard request phrase used in Britain when they wish to interrupt the teacher with a question.
Although the series is based around a class of 16-year-old pupils, most of the actors in these roles were in their twenties.
