One of the stars of The Teacher has a famous soap family.
David Fleeshman is playing Roger in the new Channel 5 drama.
The Teacher started on Monday night and airs on consecutive nights this week until Thursday.
It follows English teacher Jenna Garve, played by Sheridan Smith, who is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student, 15-year-old Kyle.

Playing Jenna's dad, Roger, in the show is David.
Viewers of The Teacher may recognise the 69-year-old Leeds actor for major television roles in Boys from the Blackstuff, Edge of Darkness, Silent Witness, and Trial and Retribution.
He has also had stints in Coronation Street, Brookside, Doctors, Emmerdale, and EastEnders.
David is also married to actress Susan Jenkins
She is most widely known for her roles as Gloria Todd in Corrie and as Jackie Corkhill in former Channel 4 soap Brookside, a role she held for ten years from 1991 to 2001.
Gloria appeared on the cobbles from 1985 to 1988 and famously served as a bridesmaid at Bet Lynch's 1987 wedding to Alec Gilroy and once had a daliance with Alan Bradley.
She left the street after stealing the boyfriend of The Rovers cleaner Sandra Stubbs.
Some of her last TV appearances were guest roles on BBC shows Casualty and Doctors.
Susan has also produced and directed major pantomimes in the UK and four studio productions at The Lowry Theatre, in Salford.
David and Susan have three children, Emily, Richard and Rosie, who also happen to be actors.
Emily appeared as Tania Thomas in children's show My Parents Are Aliens from 1999 to 2001 before having roles in Shameless, Moving On, and Still Open All Hours.
Richard, however, followed in his mum's footsteps and is probably most recognized for playing Craig Harris in Coronation Street.
The actor was 12 when he started the role, which he played for four years.
Richard's character is probably best remembered for having a relationship with Rosie Webster.
After a few years, Richard left Corrie, aged 16, with Craig being left behind by Rosie in Paris when she got cold feet about running away together.
Since then Richard, now 32, has forged a successful theatre career starring in Legally Blonde and Ghost: The Musical.
These days though, the TV turned theatre star can be founded putting his efforts into his singer-songwriter career.
