There are some other differences between the UK and Canadian versions of the show, notably that the UK version has a longer and slightly different version of the opening credits and theme, and the UK broadcasts were in the 16:9 ( widescreen) aspect ratio, while the Canadian versions are cropped to a 4:3 picture. In fact, Bromwell would be correctly termed as a state school in Britain.
This can sometimes confuse viewers, especially on the occasions when Bromwell is referred to as a " public school" in Canada, this means a provincial school, open to non-fee paying students, but in the UK, the term refers to a fee-paying, private school which attends the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference. Most of the teachers have an affinity for biscuits.īecause the show was intended for both British and Canadian audiences, the characters sometimes use Canadian terms which are different from those heard in Britain. Many of the characters on the show speak a very poor form of English, including the headmaster, Iqbal. The show represents a caricatured view of contemporary British society, while "delivering a surreal and outlandish viewing experience." For example, the majority of students at Bromwell High School are immigrant children from the Caribbean and Asia, and some of the male teachers are aging ' chavs'.

The show was designed by David Whittle, who is also responsible for illustrating the popjustice icons series of books.
It stars three troublemaking girls: Keisha, Latrina, and Natella, as they wreak havoc on their impoverished school and its teachers.
Subsequent international purchases have seen the show screened in the United States on BBC America, on The Box in the Netherlands, dubbed to Spanish and Portuguese on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim in Latin America, on the ABC in Australia, on TVNZ's TV2 in New Zealand, and also dubbed in French for the Canadian Télétoon network.
