“Bad Education” BBC Three comedy to get film treatmentJanuary 30, 2015 - 17:55 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Bad Education is to be turned into a movie. As Digital Spy reports citing Deadline, Entertainment Film Distributors is in "early talks" to bring the BBC Three comedy to the big screen. The project has yet to be given the official go-ahead, but Jack Whitehall is expected to reprise the role of Alfie. Bad Education became BBC Three's highest-rated comedy debut when it launched back in 2013. Is it thought that Entertainment Film Distributors and production company Tiger Aspect Pictures are hoping to replicate the success of other UK series, such as The Inbetweeners, which transferred successfully to the silver screen. Last year, Whitehall took Bad Education to the US to pitch it to television networks, but the project didn't get picked up to series. Reflecting on the show's failure Stateside, he said: "Our show didn't get picked up, but the one that did - Selfie with Karen Gillan - got cancelled after about eight episodes. "That would have been our show. I would have been out there and not have done anything that I've done for the last six months because I'd have been contracted for five years to the show. So with hindsight, I think I dodged a bullet." Photo: Tiger Aspect Productions Top stories The creative crew of the Public TV had chosen 13-year-old Malena as a participant of this year's contest.
