Bad Education: I'm not leaving Mitchell behind

Having played many young reprobates I can safely say that Mitchell is the most exciting and shocking.

His constant abuse means I get to insult Jack Whitehall and the other cast members on a daily basis!

Jack and I work very hard coming up with original schoolboy insults between takes, such as "Topshop Peter Sutcliffe" so the day never gets boring.

However the insults get more immature and near the mark as the shoot goes on (which is Bad Education all over to be honest).

I think each series got funnier and funnier as they went on and I think this is because Jack and co-writer Freddy Syborn attempted to see how far they could push the jokes, situations and characters.

I most certainly heightened Mitchell and made him even more outrageous and disturbed as the series progressed and all the other actors found character traits that they could play on more and more.

I remember one Saturday on set, standing on a roof top holding a dead pig, throwing it down at Jack and shouting "Eat pig -----!"

Just after this I turned to Kae Alexander (who plays Jing) and said ”What a strange way to spend our weekend.”

It then dawned on us that this is actually our career and we get paid to throw hog roasts at people.

Working on Bad Education, you get to do things that you wouldn't get to do on any other job!

It’s not all fun and games though... one day on series two I had to stare at a naked Jack Whitehall.

He had a revolting wig on with horrendous prosthetics and only a swimming float to cover his modesty.

This went on for a good hour after lunch I nearly brought up my chilli con carne. Wasn't the nicest day.

However afterwards I got to get intimate with a CPR lifeguard training dummy so it wasn't all bad news. I really do have a strange job.

I will miss the cast, the crew and obviously playing Mitchell. I don't think I will ever get to work on a show like Bad Education again.

From the second I stepped on set to the second I wrapped I don't ever remember not laughing.

Whether I was laughing about the script or the gags or whether I was just laughing at a member of the cast or crew pratting about, I didn’t stop chuckling from start to finish (most of the time it was during a take).

I’ve also never worked on a show where I've had so much input with lines and ideas.

I'm going to miss working on a job where we start on a scene and it is completely different by the end of it, where we have just tweaked and changed so much in the script to make it even more mental and outrageous.

I'll miss Bad Education however I’ll always be as rude and immature as Mitchell so I don't have to leave him behind!

Charlie Wernham plays Mitchell in Bad Education.

Bad Education continues on Tuesday, 30 October at 10pm on BBC Three and BBC Three HD. For further programme times please see the episode guide.
