Pete

Pete tries his hardest to organise his family but often finds himself over-run by his children. He's a bit confused and life seems to have taken Pete, rather than it being him who dictates the direction in which his life goes.

Pete teaches history in an inner-city school, where a typical school holiday sees five arrested, two become pregnant and one pupil shot. He's clearly frustrated by the lack of interest his pupils show in learning about history, but is becoming more resigned to it just being a job.

Pete's natural wit and his inability to keep jokes to himself has got him in trouble on more than one occasion. Following an ill-judged quip involving obesity and Ramadan, Pete found his job in jeopardy.
