PRU (BBC, 2022) (720p, soft English subtitles)
Fresh and funny comedy with a big heart. Four beautifully complex but seemingly self-destructive teens look for a new start in a school for excluded kids.
E01
It’s Sienna’s first day at the PRU and a chance for a fresh start. She makes a new friend in troubled Belle, reunites with frosty old schoolmate Jaeden and crosses swords with hyperactive Halil, who is refusing to take his ADHD medication. When Halil’s behaviour threatens the class paintballing trip, Sienna takes matters into her own hands, with disastrous consequences.
E02
The kids are introduced to the ‘power of manifestation’ by holier-than-thou life coach Noah. However, Sienna takes a dislike to him and leads a rebellion.
Meanwhile, Belle contemplates sending a nude, Jaeden struggles with home responsibilities, and Halil is left shocked as his manifestations appear to come true.
E03
Romance is in the air as Jean and Anthony take the kids camping in the woods. The kids struggle to navigate the area, the elements and, ultimately, each other. They have to plant the flag before sundown, but an emergency arises when Belle goes missing. Meanwhile, the teachers get carried away and have a few too many, while Jaeden’s arachnophobia threatens to get the better of him.
E04.
The future of The Spring is under threat as the school inspector visits while the kids take part in the annual PRU ‘Bake Off’. What could go wrong? Belle seems determined to bring the school down, while Sienna struggles to balance her desperation to save the school with her enthusiasm to win the Bake Off. The boys use the competition to launch an edibles business. Meanwhile, a revelation about one of the kids overshadows events and shocks everyone to their core.
