TV Series
Throughout the series, Mr. Gilbert makes it clear that he is an unwelcoming and intimidating man who often badmouths and ridicules his students, seeing them as nothing more than brainless idiots and taking full advantage of situations where he can punish them for anything. He has a specifically bad relationship with William McKenzie, Simon Cooper, Jay Cartwright and Neil Sutherland, and strangely hates Will the most, despite him being a rather responsible and intelligent student; this is evident from his blackmailing and physiological abuse towards Will of whom he gives to far more than any other character in the series. By the end of the series he is relieved to finally get rid of the sixth form students although he keeps his job within the school and takes on another year of sixth formers who he presumably treats in the same way.
Movies
