HIV advice scene a 'life ambition' for script adviser

Netflix show Sex Education has never been short of praise for the way it tackles difficult issues. Now in its third season, many viewers have spoken about how they wish the show had been on when they were at school. This is something that Alix Fox, one of Netflix's script consultants, is delighted to hear. A scene she worked on, where a nurse gives advice to a gay teen about HIV, has been a big talking point online.

Sex Education Series 4 confirmed

Netflix has confirmed it has ordered a fourth series of Sex Education.

British Comedy Guide, 26th September 2021

But oh to have been a pupil at Moordale Secondary School, the setting for Sex Education (Netflix). Gillian Anderson, most recently responsible for tutoring about the birds and the bees, does not wear a hairnet and never will, otherwise TV is finished. Completely.

The third season begins with the pupils doing their homework. In the back seats of cars, in living-rooms, in - how boring - bedrooms, on their own, virtually, dressed like fembots from Blake's 7 (remember that one, sci-fi geeks?) ... and hang on, isn't that two teachers doing it and on a drum-kit as well?

But this bonking montage might be historic. Employing a sex therapist - Anderson's Jean Milburn - and staging a sex musical and being the scene of an outbreak of chlamydia had, unsurprisingly, prompted the tabloids to dub Moordale the "Sex School". Now, though, there's a new head teacher and she's determined to turn these randy young minds back to their studies.

Hope Haddon is played by ]Jemima Kirk] from Girls, which was a great show, but I'm far more impressed that her dad Simon was the drummer in Free. I love Sex Education but not for the obvious reasons, honest. It's full of the sweetest friendships, the unlikeliest alliances and the most unsympathetic brutes undertaking 180 degree turns. It's a more daring, more cool, more everything Please Sir!, the top comedy from when I had helter-skeltering hormones, so that's high praise. And it's the best-looking show on TV with everyone dressed in the zazziest colours, right down to the bicycle wheel-rims, although I fear mandatory school uniform is coming.

What Sex Education gets right about Aimee's assault

While Sex Education's key focus point follows Otis as he navigates his new relationship with Ruby, while grappling his conflicting feelings over former flame Maeve, a stronger and more significant storyline simmers on the sidelines: Aimee's ongoing trauma, following her sexual assault.
