Science teachers can be awesome? This is a foreign concept to me. I did once have a Biology teacher who insisted on drifting round the classroom pretending to be a cilia cell, but that's probably less awesome and more ... frighteningly deranged.

Oh, but then again, there was the Doctor having his Physics teacher moment in that one episode. (Why do I get the feeling this is going to end up in crossover-y AU James May/Ten madness?)
