For me, it would have to be the 1980 BAFTA-winning episode Twelve Angry Teachers. Staff are imprisoned around the staffroom table by a Retribution Demon following an act of school vandalism. One of Mr Talbot's finest moments. I believe it was praised by none other than Henry Fonda.

If anyone had told me, when I was dashing home from school to watch Leyline High, that Leyline High Rewind would be shortlisted for the British Podcast Awards in 2026, I would have said they were making it all up 🎉

Leyline High Rewind@leylinehighrewind.bsky.social · 2w ago

Wooooo! We’ve been shortlisted! 🎉 Leyline High was such a culturally significant show for 3 solid decades. We’re just glad our little podcast has helped so many people reminisce about it. 💚 www.britishpodcastawards.com/shortlist-2026

Only a vague memory, must have been late 70s or early 80s? With an evil reindeer running around the school, eating pupils? I just remember the ending, where the lunch lady revealed the defeated and roasted reindeer as the Christmas dinner... completely glossing over how it's a cannibalism turducken.

Merry Christmas guys. Top episode 👏 My seasonal fave was Let it Snow 1986. Jared & Iona find a Bing Crosby 78 and try to manifest a White Christmas but unleash an Ice Demon. Shakin' Stevens appears as a heating engineer, and Michael Fish delivers some short-lived reassurance about the Gulf Stream ❄️

(not actually as fun as episode as you might think because the school was closed obvs so nothing happened except Class 2B's hamster died because no-one had taken it home for the now-eternal Christmas holiday)

So many weird goings-on on the set of Leyline High... Which rumour was the talk of your school? I remember hearing that there was a poltergeist haunting the studio where they filmed- and it repeatedly threw props at the actors. But it turned out to be a disgruntled floor manager.
