Bad Education | comment |
Bad Education is a British sitcom produced by Tiger Aspect Productions for BBC Three, originally running from 2012 to 2014. It stars Jack Whitehall as young teacher Alfie Wickers – "the worst teacher ever to grace the British education system" – at the fictional Abbey Grove School. Mathew Horne co-stars as Fraser, Abbey Grove's eccentric headteacher, alongside Sarah Solemani as Alfie's fellow teacher and love interest Rosie Gulliver, and Michelle Gomez as his nemesis, deputy headteacher Isobel Pickwell. It has been suggested that Whitehall's character is a continuation of his "posh twit" persona from Fresh Meat.The series launch broke BBC3's record for the highest-rated first episode of a comedy, which was previously held by Mathew Horne's previous series Horne And Corden.A foreign remake, An American Education, also starring Whitehall, began shooting a pilot in early 2014 but ABC passed on it, and the original series continued.The Bad Education Movie was released in August 2015, which has nothing to do with Pedro Almodóvar's film Bad Education (2004) or the HBO biopic Bad Education (2019). In 2022, it was announced that the series would return for a reunion special at the end of the year, to be followed by a revival series, in which two of Alfie's former students, Stephen (Layton Williams) and Mitchell (Charlie Wernham), follow in his footsteps and become teachers at Abbey Grove, contending with a new class of students, strict new headmistress Bernadette Hoburn (Vicki Pepperdine) and Fraser, who's been demoted to being the school cook. | |

Ripped from the Headlines | |
Bad Education / int_1616e13 | comment |
Ripped from the Headlines: In-Universe, in "Whodunnit", Stephen decides to work out which one of his class told Hoburn he was planning on taking them out for a school trip to his audition by planting false rumours and seeing which of them get spread around, a tactic which, as he describes, famously used by tabloid celebrity Coleen Rooney to unmask fellow tabloid figure Rebekah Vardy as the friend who was selling stories about her to the press. It doesn't work, all of the false rumours get spread around the school - despite them including that Hoburn uses body doubles and that Mrs. Mollinson had died - and the person who did tell Hoburn wasn't even one of his class, it was Mitchell. | |

It's used as a joke in the first scene, gets another mention around two thirds of the way through the episode when Mitchell mentions it's gone, and one of the final scenes reveals that Alfie glued it to his dad's car as an act of defiance. | |

Hidden Depths: For all his incompetence and shallow behaviour, Alfie deeply cares about his students. This is perhaps best illustrated when Chantelle falsely tells him she is pregnant, and he is nothing but supportive and protective of her, particularly against Professor Green's snide remarks. | |

I Banged Your Mom: In "Valentine's Day", Mitchell and Rem Dogg both have Valentine's cards, claiming they came from the other's mother. Rem Dogg's card apparently reads "Dear Rem Dogg. Here's your £20 back. I can't charge you because you were so good. P.S. You banged me so hard, now I'm in a wheelchair.", while Mitchell's card contains a packet of Wotsits that he apparently payed Rem Dogg's mum with. This happens to Alfie when Professor Green has sex with his father. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: In the reunion special, Alfie takes responsibility for organising an illegal rave in the Abbey Grove gym even though the rave was was actually organised by Mitchell, and gets fired as a result. His reasoning is that Mitchell would've lost the PE teacher job he'd just been given for doing so, while he was looking for a way out of Abbey Grove anyway in order to go to Lebanon to be with Rosie. | |

Gym Class Hell: Preet van der Plessis' PE lessons. He builds a military assault course and talks about trucking in assault dogs to give the fat kids an incentive to run really fast. His invective to a mixed class of thirteen year old students - and Alfie - is a master class in PE teacher sadism. | |

Covered in Gunge: In "Trailblazer", Inchez, Harrison and Indigo get covered in chicken satay (mistaken for katsu curry from Wagamama's) after Hoburn uses her shoe to take down Mitchell and Blessing's drone takeaway delivery service. Indigo unfortunately turns out to have a nut allergy, meaning that the "splashback" results in her having to be rushed to hospital. | |

Put on a Bus: Pickwell in Series 2 after she fakes her suicide. The Bus Comes Back for the last scene of Series 2 though. Professor Green as of Series 3. The opening scenes of the first episode reveal that she left Alfie's dad and took all his money. Alfie as of the reunion special, after he gets himself fired from Abbey Grove by taking the rap for the illegal rave Mitchell organised, both so that Mitchell can keep the PE teacher job there, and so he can depart to go to Lebanon with Rosie. | |

Belligerent Sexual Tension | |
Bad Education / int_75d6bf40 | comment |
Belligerent Sexual Tension: Alfie and Rosie, particularly throughout in the series 1 finale. This goes nowhere as of Series 2, as Rosie reveals she's now dating a woman. At the end of Series 2 they kiss again and although they're more careful with privacy and Alfie is immediately pulled away by Pickwell, who saved the school with funds gained from her associate, it seems more serious this time due to the fact that Rosie decided to stay at Abbey Grove rather than go to Africa mostly on his insistence. As of the first episode of Series 3, they are living together. | |

But Not Too Gay | |
Bad Education / int_e90f5682 | comment |
But Not Too Gay: Played straight with the teachers, averted with the students. In season 2 Rosie starts dating a woman, but though it's often talked about we only see the couple together for a few minutes, holding hands. Made all the more obvious because Rosie kisses Alfie twice. On the other hand there's the students Stephen and Grayson. Several straight students mention having boyfriends/girlfriends or are seen flirting, but only Stephen and Grayson are seen kissing. Preet, the macho PE teacher, is suspiciously fond of patting bottoms and cupping genitals. Usually with Alfie. | |

Pretty Fly for a White Guy | |
Bad Education / int_eb6912 | comment |
Pretty Fly for a White Guy: Fraser's attempts to be hip. Which, according to one episode from a Noodle Incident, got him into trouble with a Racial Insensitivity Panel, implied to be because he mistakenly believed he had N-Word Privileges. Alfie is also sometimes this, like when in one episode he raps part of "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio. So is Pickwell of all people, who responds to Alfie's rap by quoting Tupac Shakur. Jinx in Season 4, who's shown joining in in a rap cypher with a group of otherwise entirely Black students. | |

Snap Back / Status Quo Is God: The series 2 finale focuses on the school's ultimately successful attempts to raise enough money to keep the school open after Fraser bankrupts it by falling for a 419 Scam. At the start of series 3, the school is bordering on bankruptcy again thanks to Fraser investing the money raised in series 2 in his new Dolce & Gabanter clothing range. | |
