Alfie Wickers



Alfred Frufrock "Alfie" Wickers is the main protagonist of Bad Education and a history teacher at Abbey Grove School. He is portrayed by Jack Whitehall.

Newly qualified history teacher and a self-appointed maverick, at 23 Alfie's in fact closer in age to the kids in his class than he is to the other teachers in the staffroom. Somewhat ironically he's also a bigger kid than his students.

He loves teaching History, especially to his class Form K, however his childish desires, past times and general laziness often get in the way.

His clever plans to get maximum results with minimal effort are unfortunately never quite as clever as he thinks. The kids love him but equally despair of him as he stumbles from one disaster to the next.

He may be a bit of a lazy oaf at times but Alfie has a sweet genuine side and is deeply in love with Miss Gulliver. That Fraser sees him as a close confidente and role-model is the sole reason for his continued employment. But he's always got that old B&Q uniform if Fraser should be replaced.
