Comedy drama created by BAFTA-nominee Daniel Lawrence Taylor following the lives of five talented black inner-city teenagers navigating their way through an alien world – the British public school system.

The first series filmed in Bristol in Summer 2023 and following the success of its release the following year – with critics praising its sharp humour, engaging performances, relatability and heartfelt exploration of institutional racism and class – its producers returned to Bristol to film two further series in Summer 2024 and 2025. The main filming site was a Clifton school, whilst interior sets were also built at the Studios. Bristol Film Office supported filming at a range of Bristol locations for Series 1, Series 2 and Series 3.
