Bad Education (Seasons 1–5)

Bad Education (2012) is a British BBC Three sitcom you can watch online on iFILM. Alfie Wickers may be the worst teacher the English school system has ever produced: childish, cowardly, and far more interested in being liked by his pupils than in teaching them anything at all.

The whole thing revolves around one form at Abbey Grove School in Watford. Alfie pines after fellow teacher Rosie, lives in terror of the sadistic headmistress Miss Pickwell, and turns ordinary lessons into disasters — a museum trip gone wrong, a prom that collapses on cue. More often than not it's his class of supposed troublemakers who bail him out, since they think faster than he does.

The series was created and written by Jack Whitehall, who also plays Alfie, and the humour is unmistakably his — cheeky, awkward, forever pushing its luck. Three short seasons, half an hour an episode: an easy binge for when you want laughs with no lessons attached. Stream every episode of Bad Education online on iFILM.
