Hi Francesca! As the next series of Bad Education approaches! What is next for Blessing?

More of the same! Blessings still scheming and grafting to make the most out of every ridiculousness at Abbey Grove. Although she's definitely starting to lose her patience more this series. I think she's fighting harder to cling onto some sense of normality/stasis in and amongst the chaos. 

What’s your favourite thing about Blessing as a character?


She's fiercely loyal, she has a really good heart and a strong sense of fairness. She's always first to stick up for Class K. I admire her self-assuredness. 

Class K has been up to so much mischief! Was there a moment you filmed that you particularly enjoyed acting out?

Charlie's Boxing episode was great to film! There were lots of moving parts, new characters, different sets, and working the black and white camera moments was especially fun. 

Lastly, if you had the opportunity to bring back a TV show from the time you were at school. What would it be? 

Kim Possible, Mona the Vampire, or Arthur's a classic.


Bad Education is on BBC Three at 9pm from Sunday, with all episodes available on BBC iPlayer.
