Touch Me, I'm Karen Taylor

I saw a bit of this the other night as I was channel hopping.

I was a bit shocked about one of the scenes:

The scenario was a school teacher who was asking the male teenage pupils in her class if they wanted to stay behind to practise their French oral.

I thought it was really icky, it made me feel really uncomfortable.

I mean, if the genders were reversed, if there was a male 'comedian' who was performing in a similar sketch, acting all lascivious to teenage girl pupils, wouldn't that be really inappropriate?

I've just checked out the BBC website and apparently that's one of the main characters in the show:

"Finally, look out for Miss Harper, the desperate, divorced school teacher who takes a less than healthy interest in her strapping male students: "Looks like it’s writing lines in your pants again, boys...""

I really fail to see the humour in acting out a scenario of an adult teacher behaving in a very sexually inappropriate manner to minors who are entrusted to her care.

What, like when Father Jack reminisces about leching over schoolgirls after persuading the teacher it was too hot for them to wear their full PE kit? I thought that was pretty funny at the time.

Who the hell is she anyway?
