In series 31, the show became targeted at younger children, moving away from focusing on teenage real-life issues. At the same time it continues with the characters from the previous series, introducing both new Year 7's and new pre-secondary school children. The style of the show is fundamentally different now, but not all necessarily bad. This episode though, to my mind is as low as the series has ever sunk, all sense of a real school goes out of the window.
Can you imagine in a real school that someone could dress up in disguise and skateboard through a Staff Room, then onto the stage at Assembly wrapping a banner around the acting school head - and get away with it? Some of series 31 is actually tolerable - the very next episode for instance - but this particular episode, with appallingly unrealistic dialogue, and ludicrously pantomime teachers will give the viewer the reason that the series was finally axed as this series started to air.
