| | BBC - Comedy Guide - Chalk |
 | | A volatile mix of self-obsession, anger, hatred and fear, and with an ego the size of Jupiter, Eric Slatt is a true TV monster - hyperactive, homophobic and ruinously paranoid, his flaws are the catalyst to the school's problems, setting in motion a chain of outrageous events that results in his and its weekly downfall. |
 | | Chalk was a school sitcom for the 1990s, set in Galfast High, a characterless, concrete comprehensive populated by unruly pupils and staffed by weary, jaundiced teachers ranging from the mildly eccentric to the completely barmy. |
 | | The hype was such that Chalk nearly drowned in the stuff; yes, it was funny, and dark, and wild, but few series could have lived up to such trumpet-blowing. |
