Around the Web
Set in the fictional, down-and-out Tepapawai Boys' High School, Seven Periods with Mr Gormsby is a brilliant Python-esque skewer of political correctness.
Alan Mascarenhas on The Age Not since Father Ted has there been a television satire so willing to trample on every kind of sensibility, and which so triumphantly gets away with it.
Ray Cassin on The Age Though it often looks like it was put to air before the post-production people had finished with it, this satirical New Zealand series manages to deftly skate over some fairly thin ice.
