As the Bell Rings is a Disney Channel UK Original Interstitial program. Its name is based on the show As the World Turns. The format is a selection of short live-action comedy sequences. It is a British adaptation of the Disney Channel Italy Original Series Quelli dell'intervallo.
It follows the adventures of a number of students at Shakespeare High School, who use their school break to sort out problems with life and love, friends and foe, home and homework. All of the action takes place in front of a window, and there is no other live action away from the hallway.
The show was originally intended to be shown on Disney Channel's rival network Nickelodeon UK under the working title Break Kids, however this never happened and the original episodes using the working title were quickly aired on Disney Channel prior to the show's official start. In September Disney Channel aired a similar show 'Break Kids' but it was not very successful and was cancelled after the first few episodes aired.
