The BBC has announced that the hit sitcom Bad Education will return to television.
The show ran from 2012 to 2014 and marking its 10th anniversary, the show will see the return of comedian Jack Whitehall in the lead role of Professor Alfie Wickers.
Along with the anniversary, the show is also set to be rebooted with a new cast for a six-part series.
Additionally, it will see the return of former students Stephen and Mitchell as newly qualified teachers.
Discussing the exciting news, the actor and comedian said: “I have such fond memories and it will be great for the fans to check in and find out what the K class have been up to since they left and if Alfie Wickers is still as much of a merger as they remember.”
Adding that although he is only in the anniversary special, he will still be part of the rebooted show.
Say, “I’ve decided it’s best that I take on more of a producer role with Bad Education, but we’ve assembled a talented young group of writers led by the brilliant Nathan Bryon, who will carry the torch.”
Along with the return of Bad Education, the Bafta-winning comedy Detectorists will also return after a five-year hiatus for a 75-minute special.
The show’s writer and director Mackenzie Crook will return alongside Toby Jones to give fans an update on the lives of metal detecting enthusiasts Lance and Andy later this year.
Crook, 50, said: “I’ve had a story floating around for a while and thought it was worth getting Lance, Andy and the rest of the band together.
“The affection expressed for the Detectors over the years has been incredible and I hope fans of the show enjoy this extended new installment.”
