You have to feel a little bit sorry for Frederick Bremer School, Walthamstow, East London. It had a very tricky task, and we're not just talking about raising the exam results - a key goal for headteacher Jenny Smith. Nope, we're talking about following the legendary Mushy Moment.
Last year's Educating Yorkshire was great all the way through, of course, but that scene which saw Mushy giving a speech to his fellow classmates was ridiculous - it was something out of a movie, not a fly-on-the-wall documentary, and still reduces us to tears every time we see it (and trust us, we've seen it a lot).
Frederick Bremer's staff and students presumably weren't too worried about making a good television show when they signed up to become the new Educating school - Educating the East End - but we bet the producers were terrified. How on Earth do you organically top the Mushy Moment?...

Here's the thing: my job involves sitting on my backside all day writing about television (I spend my nights sitting on my backside watching it). I am not physically fit. I'm quite messy. I can't remember the last time I ironed. The one time I played paintball, I had the sniffles and hid behind trees until it was all over. I'm a fan of eight hours of sleep a night. During school, I devised various, cunningly legitimate ways of avoiding Pe. I crumble if someone shouts at me. In other words, I am almost entirely the opposite of a suitable candidate for the Royal Marines - and that's ignoring the fact that I'm a woman.
You might think, then, that I wouldn't really relate to the young men who enrol at the Commando Training Centre in Lympstone to earn one of those coveted green berets and become a Royal Marine.

Channel 4 star James Rhodes has hit out at politician Michael Gove while introducing his new series.
Rhodes's upcoming Channel 4 show, The Great Instrument Amnesty, sees the classical pianist attempting to find unwanted instruments to give to pupils keen to learn how to play.
However, speaking at Channel 4's factual showcase last night, Rhodes admitted that he was shocked at the state of music lessons in the country and hit out at Gove, the secretary of state for education.
"Music education in this country in the space of a generation has been obliterated," he said. "When I was a kid, it didn't seem to matter if you went to the posh school or the local comprehensive - there were music lessons, there were school orchestras, there were music classes, and it was an integral part not just of my life, but of the life of the school and the curriculum.
