Bad Education Christmas Special 2023 preview

Alfie Wickers (Jack Whitehall) channels his inner Jacob Marley in an all-singing, all-dancing Bad Education Christmas spectacular. Inspired by Charles Dickens' timeless masterpiece A Christmas Carol, the 30-minute special sees the ghost of Alfie return to Abbey Grove to teach dangerously self-absorbed Stephen Carmichael (Layton Williams) a lesson he'll never forget.

As if his ego wasn't outsized enough already, Stephen has just secured a role in a pantomime, and on the final day of term before the Christmas break he decides that the best way to sign off is by... staging his own elaborate funeral, at which everyone at the school can pay tribute to the greatest drama teacher there ever was.

Suffice to say, that's not quite how things pan out.

With the help of a few faces from Bad Education series past, Alfie shows Stephen what his colleagues and students really think of him, as a result of him unfailingly putting his own needs above those of everybody around him.

Mitchell Harper (Charlie Wernham), meanwhile, gets to live out his Die Hard Christmas fantasy, and that means no foreign exchange students are safe. Follow our guide below to watch the Bad Education Christmas Special 2023 from anywhere.
