Teacher Mr Gormsby believes in brutal honesty - and that the education system has gone all namby pamby. In desperation, a dysfunctional low decile school gives him a job. Inspired partly by an old school teacher who wore a military beret, Seven Periods with Mr Gormsby unleashes the rebellious side of director/co-creator Danny Mulheron. The Dominion Post compared Gormsby to Fred Dagg and Lyn of Tawa; The Sydney Morning Herald found it "darkly funny". Running two seasons, it was nominated for best script and best comedy in the 2006 NZ Screen Awards.
