What happens

Bad Education is a British television sitcom set in a dysfunctional secondary school broadcast on BBC Three. Running from August 2012 to October 2014, the first three series were written by Jack Whitehall, who starred as Alfie Wickers, "the worst teacher ever to grace the British education system". Set at the fictional Abbey Grove School in Hertfordshire, the series follows Wickers' class of misfits, Class K, headed by the eccentric headteacher Shaquille "Simon" Fraser (Mathew Horne), and Wickers' ploys to win the affection of crush and fellow teacher, Rosie Gulliver (Sarah Solemani). Despite a good reception from critics, the show remained "a hit with the target audience", and was adapted to a 2015 film starring the original cast. In January 2023, a fourth series aired, though no longer starring Whitehall. In the revived show, former pupils Stephen Carmichael (Layton Williams) and Mitchell Harper (Charlie Wernham) return to teach Class K at Abbey Grove, now headed by Bernadette Hoburn (Vicki Pepperdine), with their pupils caught amid their schemes and rivalries. Mathew Horne also returned now as the school cook. A fifth and final series premiered in January 2024 following a 2023 Christmas special. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
