Marta Balaga Forget “Saltburn” – now, it’s up to BBC Three’s series “Boarders” to take an honest look at Britain’s most exclusive private schools. “You hear so many horror stories about these places, but it’s a rite of passage. So many of our PMs and people of power went there.
I think there is something called ‘boarding school syndrome’ when you deal with politicians who exhibit complete lack of compassion. That’s what they learnt there,” explains Daniel Lawrence Taylor, who created the show. His actor, Josh Tedeku, agrees.
“I went to Oxford recently and there is a similar vibe. My friend would say: ‘This is where Boris Johnson went, this is where Rishi Sunak went.’ You start to understand why they are all so loopy.” “I loved the place, they shot ‘Harry Potter’ there and I was just nerding out. Then, I met someone who watched ‘Boarders’ and she said it’s exactly like that.
I asked: ‘But the pissing [scene] is extreme, right?’ She said: ‘These posh white guys do some crazy things’.” In comedy-drama “Boarders,” competing at Series Mania, five Black students are offered life-changing scholarships to prestigious private school St Gilbert’s, struggling to rebuild its image following a massive PR crisis. But not everyone is welcoming them with open arms. Produced by Studio Lambert, it was directed by Ethosheia Hylton and Sarmad Masud.
All3Media International handles sales. “Comedy gets people engages, it makes them feel happy, but it’s also a great way to push forward conversation points that many are dreading. In ‘Boarders,’ when these things hit, they hit hard,” says Jodie Campbell, who acts alongside Tedeku, Myles Kamwendo, Sekou Diaby and Aruna Jalloh.
