There are very few elements of Sex Education which the creators haven’t got very, very right. This was me roughly ten times during the latest series of Sex Education. If the scene lasts long enough, the song either grows on you, or a niggling voice starts to pipe up – ‘you’ve heard this somewhere before… but where?’ Finally, maybe thirty seconds down the line, you get it together enough to pick up your phone – just in time for the track to finish. A tune starts to play in the background of a TV show you’re watching you half-register the song, maybe think ‘oh that’s quite good’. If you have Shazam downloaded onto your phone, you’ll know the drill. 24th September 2021 Steve (Chris Jenks), Aimee (Aimee Lou Wood) and Maeve (Emma Mackey) in ‘Sex Education’ season three CREDIT: Netflix
