Series 1, Episode 6

Nigel endures a steady stream of challenging pupils, including a tone-deaf priest struggling to sing mass, a highly-strung harpist with a over-strung harp and the world's most flatulent tuba player.

Further details

It doesn't help that Nigel is in the middle of an OFSTED inspection, the impending results of which weigh heavily on his mind. Almost as heavily as the prospect of the closure of the arts centre, which Belinda is convinced is on the cards. So much so that she has started a 'Save Letchington Arts Centre' campaign - and she wants Nigel to front a protest song live on the local TV news.
