Apparently some people out there are mad that this story is showing a teacher falling in love with a student...but seriously the title of the show is called "True Love" this episode is not straight up saying "hey kids its OK to sleep with your teachers" it's showing a beautiful relationship about 2 girls. Honestly I watch this episode once every few months and it gives me such a happy feeling afterward. This episode just blows my mind. The best part is when Holly and Karen are just sitting in Holly's apartment cuddling, and the scene has no dialog, but just background noise. The scene does not further the story anymore but it just makes the title of the show pop more . I would recommend everyone to watch it because it just reaffirms my faith in love. I love it and I love the people who wrote it and helped make it possible. Beautiful story.

Dreadful writing

Warning: Spoilers
The plot for this episode is that a 16 year old girl is attracted to her older female teacher who reciprocates. The worst thing about this episode is you are left with the impression that it is OK for a Teacher to have a sexual relationship with a pupil. I wonder if the writer believes that as it is a same sex relationship it is acceptable (this is obviously homophobic) and that the girl is of the age of consent the relationship is not illegal. The pupil is under the supervision of the teacher so therefore the teacher is abusing their position of trust this is actually illegal up to the age of 18. I believe therefore the BBC is showing its ignorance by appearing to legitimize such a relationship.
