If you were lucky growing up, you might have had a teacher who left a big impression on you; a teacher who inspired you to try your best and believe in yourself. But not all teachers are cut from the same cloth. Just ask Gerry Dee, star and creator of Mr. D. The show follows a gym teacher (played by Dee) at a private school with a less than stellar attitude.

Today, Dee joins Tom Power to discuss the show's latest season and how his own real-life experiences as a teacher continue to inspire his comedy. 

Mr. D airs Tuesday nights at 9:30 p.m. (10 NT) on CBC-TV.
