Freddy Syborn

Originally, I co-wrote three series of Bad Education with Jack Whitehall.  I was also lucky enough to work with Dan Swimer, Ben Cavey, Pippa Brown, and Jeremy Dyson.
​
Our cast included Mathew Horne, Sarah Solemani, Michelle Gomez, Sam Spiro and Harry Enfield. 
 
Harry's character, Martin, was described by an irate Arts Desk reviewer as being both "seedy and corrupt."  This is worrying, because Martin bears a striking resemblance to my own father, the sort of man who says "the pick and pock of leather on willow" when he means "cricket".

In 2023, we brought Bad Education back for two more seasons. I directed both, plus two specials, for BBC3. We worked with writers like Nathan Bryon, Ava Pickett and Laura Smyth.

We also taught Layton Williams how to dance. He's got two left feet, poor guy.
