The theme tune "School's Out" was by Sam Fonteyn.[3][4]
The title derives from the then-standard request phrase used in Britain when they wish to interrupt the teacher with a question.
Although the series is based around a class of 16-year-old pupils, most of the actors in these roles were in their twenties.
