Synopsis:

Bad Education - written by and starring Jack Whitehall - follows Alfie Wickers, the worst teacher ever to (dis)grace the British education system. 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 never seen it before.

The first half goes badly but the team rallies after a pep talk from Alfie,ending in a draw. Miss Pickwell,who wanted a job at Middleton House is displeased and the real reason for Humpage's feud with Alfie is made known.

Handsome brain-box David Millbank and thuggish Tory Grayson seem to be clear winners so Alfie puts forward tubby class virgin Joe for the sympathy vote.

Fortunately,in the course of a little computer hacking to discredit the front runners Alfie's class discovers that Pickwell has a guilty and totally dishonest secret that will certainly scotch her plan.
