[1] The show ran for ten series and the cast included Peter Davison,[2] James Grout and Karl Howman.
[3] A continuation series aired in 2002 and was named King Street Junior Revisited.
Episodes closed with a children's choir singing "See the Farmer Sow the Seed," a hymn written by Baptist minister Frederick Arthur Jackson (1867–1942).
Peter Davison's character is no longer in the show, having taken a position at another school; from here on is Karl Howman as Philip Sims.
The series was described as follows: "An unassuming Radio 4 institution, this character sitcom-cum-light drama serial followed the working lives of a group of teachers at a small junior school in a multiracial area, and came from the pen of Jim Eldridge, himself a former teacher.
