PLOT Following a chlamydia scandal at Moordale High School, a new headteacher (Jemima Kirke) is hired in the hope of improving its reputation.
She soon comes up against the students, however, who are wrestling with a multitude of sexual and emotional dilemmas.
A MONTAGE OF grappling, grunting teenagers kicks off the Series 3 opener of Sex Education on a high. It starts with a car at night, its windows foggy, its framework rocking unceremoniously while the couple inside engage in an energetic, carnal act of passion. What ensues can only be described as a sexual symphony, scored by Tommy James & The Shondells’ original version of ‘I Think We’re Alone Now’, and balancing tongue-in-cheek humour with a giddy sense of empowerment.
