Brian reports Phil to Melinda

Can teacher call time on bully Phil?

Burnt-out Brian hits breaking point this week, as he’s finally pushed to report Phil to the head – but can his tormentor be brought into line?

After Phil orders already overworked Brian to rewrite the school’s Nativity script overnight, it’s the final straw – and, in total panic, Brian faints. Having hit his head on a table while collapsing, he’s found unconscious by Liam in the staff room.

And although Brian insists on playing down his condition, Phil’s meddling leads Cathy to find her other half’s secret stash of caffeine pills. Aghast, she insists that Brian see a doctor, and he’s diagnosed with heart palpitations.

This worrying development finally allows Brian to accept that Phil’s behaviour is out of control – and so he reaches out to boss Melinda in the hope that she’ll intervene. But is dobbing in Phil about to make Brian’s work life better, or a whole lot worse?
