Bad Education - Series One & Two
First two series of the hit BBC Three sitcom starring and co-written by comedian Jack Whitehall.
Series 1
Abbey Grove School is populated by some of the weirdest teachers you could ever meet: Fraser (Mathew Horne), the hair-brained Headmaster, Miss Gulliver (Sarah Solemani) the biology teacher with a heart of gold, and Deputy Headmistress Miss Pickwell (Michelle Gomez), who displays all the charm and sensitivity of a Third Reich dominatrix.
Alfie's class have been written off by the rest of the school - but Alfie's determined to take them under his wing and make their school lives the best they can be. From disastrous parents' evenings to cringe-worthy sex-education lessons, from life-threatening self-defence classes to school elections full of dirty tricks... Bad Education is school life as you've (hopefully) never seen it before.
Series 2
Mathew Horne, Michelle Gomez and Sarah Solemani reprise their roles in this series. They are joined by new cast additions including Harry Enfield, Samantha Spiro, Greg McHugh, Frances Barber and Jake Canuso. Also returning are the wonderful young comedy talent in Alfie's class.
It's a new term and Alfie Wickers (Jack Whitehall) is back as the self-styled maverick of Abbey Grove, attempting to teach his class something - anything - that requires zero effort. Though Alfie's heart's always in the right place, his judgment is often clouded by the fact he is, in reality, a bigger kid than any of the kids he teaches.
Bad Education Series 2 features a swimming gala, a drugs awareness day that ends in utter humiliation for Alfie, Fraser staging Abbey Grove's own Take Me Out and Joe being shot in the bum. It may be a new term, but it looks like Alfie hasn't learnt a thing, but his pupils still love him...
