Bad Education - Series 1 [DVD]

Product Information

I’m so excited for audiences to experience the madness of Mr Carmichael, the new Class K! We’re having so much fun on set, I think you’re all in for a treat!”

The episode introduced a new set of Class K pupils, and set the premise for Williams and Wernham to reprise their roles as Stephen Carmichael and Mitchell Harper in the fourth series, teaching Drama and PE. Hoburn navigates their rivalries and antics, as do the pupils with whom they compete for affection. The new Class K pupils were: [19] Katherine Grayson ( Katherine Kingsley), Frank's mother, who begins a relationship with Martin after his breakup with Green. Grayson has a pedigree chihuahua called Coco whom she considers a princess, showing more affection towards Coco than her son. Her relationship with Martin ends after Cleo may have unknowingly killed Coco while she was in Martin's care (Coco is later shown to be unharmed in the post-credit clip). The third series of Bad Education began transmission on 16 September 2014, and ended on 21 October 2014. In late 2014, Whitehall confirmed that the show would not receive a fourth series. [13] Filming [ edit ] Inchez (Anthony J Abraham), an aspiring rapper who tries to project a front that he is cool, though the rest of Class K do not take him very seriously.There are some formats, though, that never seem to get tired, real-life hospital documentaries being one of them. There was nothing in Trauma: Level One (ITV) that hadn't been shown many times before; no agenda other than bad things happening to ordinary people and highly skilled medical teams doing their best to limit the damage. Yet it is a formula that never fails. I'm not sure if it's because I can't help watching and thinking of what fine margins we all live by – how little it would take for my life to be changed for ever – or whether it's that these human dramas are far more moving, stomach-churning and gripping than anything else on TV. But they get to me every time and I can't not watch them. Stephen Carmichael ( Layton Williams) is a camp, gay member of the class. He has a passion for fashion, dancing, musicals and films, and is best friends with Chantelle. In the Christmas special, he begins a relationship with Frank Grayson. He appears not to get on with Frank in Series 3, but Frank agrees to be his date for the prom and they are later crowned Prom King and Queen. He stuns others by breaking homosexual stereotypes, including being good at football and advanced martial arts. Despite a mixed reception from critics, the show remained "a hit with the target audience", and was adapted to a 2015 film starring the original cast. The sitcom focuses on Class K, a class of misfits at the fictional Abbey Grove School, a failing secondary school in Watford [2] or Tring, [3] Hertfordshire, and their incompetent teachers.

Usma (Asha Hassan), the glamorous, social media obsessed gossip of the class. She is shown to be image-conscious, sassy and popular. She is partially based on how Stephen was portrayed in the original series; Williams said that he was consulted as part of the creation of the character. That’s the dilemma that also plagues the school board members—led by a vividly haggard Ray Romano—when they first learn of the administrators’ indiscretions. Going public would not only jeopardize the standing of the school district nationwide, it also would damage its reputation locally, which would make it harder for high-school seniors to gain acceptance at top universities, which would cause property values to plummet. This wasn't the worst of it, though. The worst was seeing Edmondson humiliate himself by dressing up as a Roman soldier and appearing naked except for an apron in front of a barbecue, for links so poor they must have made even him cringe. However much he was paid to do this, I'm not sure it was enough.Joe Poulter ( Ethan Lawrence), Alfie's closest ally, who willingly humiliates himself to help his teacher. He is the butt of jokes and pranks by other pupils, although they seem to have affection for him, and he grows in confidence by the end of Series 3. The Bad Education Reunion is the highest rating comedy on BBC Three since the channel was relaunched in 2022; series four drew in over 1.2 million viewers with the highest 28 day audience of a BBC Three comedy series (excluding specials) making it one of BBC Three’s most successful titles. Jemima "Jinx" (Laura Marcus) (Reunion, Series 4), a socially-conscious member of the class who appears to be completely unaware of her own privilege. Bad Education and Detectorists get specials as BBC announces comedy investment". The Independent. 12 May 2022 . Retrieved 12 May 2022. What with the royalties and repeat fees he must have accrued over the years from what I've always imagined to be a highly successful and enviable career, it had never previously occurred to me that Adrian Edmondson might be a bit strapped for cash. But I couldn't come up with any other explanation for him agreeing to front the truly pointless Ade in Adland (ITV), a programme idea so feeble and so old that I can't imagine even Alan Carr agreeing to do it for a late-night bank holiday schedule filler on Channel 4.
