Bonjour la Classe is a British television comedy series broadcast on BBC1 in the beginning of 1993. Created and written by Paul Smith and Terry Kyan, the series centred on Laurence Didcott, a new teacher of French at prestigious Mansion School.

Didcott discovers a prevailing attitude at Mansion, among staff, benefactors and even students and parents, that places what is best for the school (e.g. fundraising, school image) ahead of pupils' education and well being. The scenes at the school were shot in the winter of 1992.
