"If you've ever watched Channel 4's Educating Yorkshire, you'll more or less know what to expect from A Rebel Education (Virgin Media One, Sunday, October 12, and on Virgin Media Play)."
"It's effectively the same series, but with a uniquely Cork flavour, right down to having The Young Offenders star Alex Murphy provide the jaunty narration and his co-star Shane Casey talk to students about mental health with a bluntness teachers aren't permitted: "If you need help, ask for f**king help!" Sound advice."
A Rebel Education follows an Educating-style documentary format set in Cork. The series features jaunty narration from The Young Offenders star Alex Murphy. Shane Casey, also from The Young Offenders, engages directly with students on mental-health issues, using blunt language that teachers typically cannot use. The series emphasizes candid, practical advice for young people, highlighted by the line, "If you need help, ask for f**king help!" The programme airs on Virgin Media One (Sunday, October 12) and is available on Virgin Media Play. The show received a four-out-of-five rating.
