Mr Spencer
Head of the Geography department.
Appearance
He is short, and many say that he looks like the BRGS squirrel Mascot, Maurice. (Unfortunately incorrect. He actually is said to resemble a chipmunk. Close, though.)
Head of Geography
De Facto head of the Geography department (Dr Edwards is a deputy head, Mrs Young is a Head of Year, and Mrs Helm and Doc Rob have retired), Mr Spencer is continuing in the same tree-hating way as Mrs Helm by giving an average of 3.4 photocopied sheets per lesson. He is though rather good at what he teaches.
The Torch
Mr Spencer often threaten people with penalty points, however, he never gives them out. Also, he is also fond (and I mean fond) of his little green torch. He went absaloutely ballistic and starting jumping up and down, having the rant of his life when the batteries ran out.

On Teapots
Was, during his student days at BRGS, made to stand on his chair and sing "I'm a Little Teapot" by a certain teacher who was (and possibly is) still working at the infamous grammar-school-on-a-hill. Congratulations to the genius who came up with that punishment, probably Biology teacher Mr Morriss, who inflicts the punishment if you don't understand natural selction.
