Why teachers' reactions Adolescence reveal ‘problem with schooling'

The four-part series explores misogyny among teenage boys and prompted a national conversation about online safety when it was released in March. Speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Thorne said: 'I worked in a school, (executive producer) Hannah (Walters) spent a long time in schools, and we both had a real passion to talk about schools that aren't doing so well. 'And it was so interesting the response, because there was teachers going, 'That would never happen in schools', and then other teachers going, 'You've got that spot on'. 'And what that showed is, we've got a real problem in our country, because there's a certain level of schooling which is complacent about the schools that we're allowing to sink.' One of the episodes in the series is filmed in a school and shows Ashley Walters ' character, DI Luke Bascombe, interviewing children who are friendly with 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper), who has been accused of murdering his school friend.

Thorne said he 'started out' with Channel 4, adding: 'I'm really grateful for Channel 4, but I'm excited that Netflix is moving into this space.' In March, Thorne, 46, spoke to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at Downing Street about the issues raised in the drama.

Brad Pitt's pretty costar Elizabeth Debicki towers over him on set of his Cliff Booth movie
Brad Pitt 's new leading lady has definitely got a few inches on him. The 61-year-old actor - who cracked a smile earlier this week - was joined by his gorgeous costar Elizabeth Debicki, 34, who towered over him on the Los Angeles set of The Adventures Of Cliff Booth. Elizabeth is four inches taller than her A-list castmate as she is listed at 6feet3 while Brad is reportedly 5feet11. Brad looked every bit the late 1960s hunk as he reprises his Oscar-winning role. He donned a brown suede jacket over light trousers and beige suede heeled boots. The Fight Club actor donned a medium-length dirty blonde wig and sported a mustache. Elizabeth did not wear heeled footwear and instead sported a pair of sandals and still was considerably taller than the leading man. The Australian actress best known for her Emmy Award winning performance as Princess Diana in The Crown wore all white including suit and top. Her long blonde locks were worn down in a middle-part as she accentuated her natural looks with complementary make-up. Brad's latest project is a sequel to 2019's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood directed by Quentin Tarantino. The film - which featured Sydney Sweeney, Mikey Madison, Austin Butler, and Margaret Qualley who were all up-and-comers at the time - starred Pitt as Cliff, a stuntman for the Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio). DiCaprio is not listed as a cast member on the show's IMDb page, which describes the plot as showcasing 'more of Cliff Booth's backstory in his new role as a Hollywood fixer.' Tarantino previously fleshed out the character beyond how he's portrayed in the film with a novelization of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood that he wrote. While the upcoming film will focus on Cliff, Pitt clarified last month that the project was 'not really a sequel but an episode' featuring the character. The Australian actress best known for her Emmy Award winning performance as Princess Diana in The Crown (she is seen in September 2024) 'This is something Quentin Tarantino wrote. It's an episode, not really a sequel, but an episode of the character from Once Upon A Time,' he told Deadline. 'But he didn't want to direct it at this point, and my friend David Fincher, our friend, I say our mutual friend, David Fincher stepped in to direct it,' Pitt explained. 'So we're doing that for Netflix and we're gonna start in July, it should be really fun. It should be good fun.' In addition to Pitt, the cast consists of Elizabeth Debicki, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Carla Gugino, Scott Caan and JB Tadena. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood earned numerous awards and nominations, including multiple Oscar nods.
