Bad Education

Bad Education is a television programme commissioned by the BBC from 2011 to 2014.  It is based around a school in London.  The main character is Alfie Wickers who is a teacher at the school you feel sorry for Alfie because he is a teacher who acts like his pupils which is funny as its comedy.

Bad Education was on BBC 3 every Tuesday at 10pm which is after the watershed because it had verbal comedy and some racial comedy which isn't something that's on before the watershed as this is not age appropriate for the people who are awake before 9:00 in  the evening.

The executive producer was Tiger Aspect Productions who produced all 3 series.  The target audience is teenagers and adults aged 16 to 34 which is the target audience for the BBC 3 channel. Bad Education is a programmed with adult themes in so it has to be on after the water shed.
