BBC reveals hit sitcom will come to an end after three series on air
THE BBC has revealed that a hit sitcom will come to an end after three series on air.
The show was branded ‘best on the Beeb’ and had a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.
Popular school comedy-drama Boarders debuted on BBC Three last year to much success.
It tells the eye-opening story of a group of London-based black teens who are selected to attend a private boarding school after receiving scholarships.
And after receiving an incredible Rotten Tomatoes score of 100% and impressing viewers, another term is on the way.
But the news is bittersweet for fans – as it’s the final series and will conclude the show’s storyline.
Announcing the news, the BBC also confirmed Jodie Campbell, Sekou Diaby, Aruna Jalloh, Myles Kamwendo and Josh Tedeku will all reprise their roles for the final series.
Alongside writer and creator Daniel Lawrence Taylor who returns as their mentor Gus.
Taylor will also make his directorial debut this series, directing the final episode.
Filmed in Bristol, Boarders series three sees the South London teens back at St. Gilbert’s and the pressure is on.
They’ve made it to their final term, exams are looming, and they’re determined to achieve big.
As they dream of life beyond St. Gilbert’s, a neighbouring school – which also happens to be the one Abby is now attending – provokes an intense rivalry causing chaos and jeopardising their futures.
With new enemies, love interests and broken friendship, our teens are forced to face a fresh batch of problems which threaten to trip them up at their final hurdle.
What will it take for our scholarship kids to come out on top?
Returning cast from series two also include Niky Wardley, Assa Kanouté, Tallulah Greive, Rosie Graham, Georgina Sadler and Zheng Xi Yong.
Writer, creator and executive producer Daniel Lawrence Taylor, says: “Boarders has been a deeply personal project for me, and it’s been incredible to see how audiences have connected with the characters.
Best BBC comedies
We look back at some of the best to ever grace the screen.
Fawlty Towers (1975-1979) – Only two series were made of the beloved institution. However, the cultural impact of the series starring John Cleese and Connie Booth spans decades. It follows rude and intolerant Basil Fawlty (Cleese) as he attempts to improve the reputation of his hotel.
Only Fools and Horses (1981-2003) – The show was crowned by some as the best British sitcom of all time by a TV poll in 2004. Seven series were broadcast on BBC until 1991 with additional sporadic Christmas specials airing until 2003. Sir David Jason starred as ambitious market trader Derek “Del Boy” Trotter whilst Nicholas Lyndhurst played his younger half-brother Rodney. Set in working-class Peckham in south-east London, it follows the highs and lows of the lives of the Trotters’, in particular their brazen attempts to get rich.
Blackadder (1983 – 1989) – Four series were made of the iconic show, created by Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson. Each series spans a different historical period as anti-hero Edmund Blackadder (Atkinson) tries to better himself in each society. Accompanied by his dogsbody Baldrick (Tony Robinson), trouble always ensues. A TV poll in 2004 found that Blackadder was voted the second-best British sitcom of all time
Absolutely Fabulous (1992 – 2012) – Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley star as failing PR guru Edina ‘Eddie’ Monsoon and alcoholic fashionista Patsy Stone. The pair embark on heavy-drinking sessions and abuse drugs in a desperate attempt to stay ‘hip’. Eddie constantly chases bizarre fads and fails to lose weight whilst her disappointed and neglected daughter Saffy (Julia Sawalha) looks on.
Little Britain (2003 – 2006) – The premise is simple. A sketch show which features different British people from all walks of life that are engaged in all sorts of comical scenarios. Starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams, the pair created iconic pop culture characters. Viewers loved obnoxious council estate teenager Vicky Pollard, morbidly obese scrounger Bubbles Devere, slimming coach Marjorie Dawes, despondent office worker Carol Beer, disgraced politician Sir Norman Fry, of course the iconic Lou and Andy!
The Catherine Tate Show (2004-2015) – A sketch show starring the likes of Catherine Tate. She made iconic characters such as rowdy schoolgirl Lauren Cooper with her line ‘Am I bovvered?’. Other characters featured Bernie the nurse, the aga saga woman, complaining couple Janice and Ray, and of course her infamous ‘Nan’, Joannie Taylor. The last character herself spawned multiple specials and even a movie.
Gavin and Stacey (2007 – Present) The series tells the story of Gavin (Matthew Horne) and Stacey (Joanna Page). The pair embarked on an online and telephone romance for six months. But when they finally decide to be together properly, their friends and family get in the way. Ruth Jones and James Corden created the beloved show, which has been going for over a decade. The 2019 Christmas special was the most-watched comedy in 17 years and the most-viewed non-sporting event in a decade.
“From day one, I wanted to create something funny, honest, and proudly Black,
“And in this final term, I hope to finish their story as they face their final year with greater challenges, deeper friendships and the looming question of life beyond school.”
Studio Lambert Creative Director, Scripted Madeleine Sinclair says: “Daniel’s fearless and sharp writing, as well as standout performances from our cast.
“Have meant that audiences have truly embraced our characters and we cannot wait for everyone to see how their stories conclude – with humour, honesty, and a lot of heart.”
Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama says: “Boarders has been a fun, sharp and timely addition to our screens since its launch two years ago, with star-making turns from its exceptional young cast.
“We’re so excited to return to St Gilbert’s one more time to bring viewers the conclusion of Daniel Lawrence Taylor’s hit comedy-drama.”
Fans can expect six brand new, 45 minute long episodes of Boarders when it returns to BBC.

We live in shadow of psychiatric hospital housing UK’s most dangerous killers – it’s so creepy not even the birds sing
IN an eerie rural village walled in by beautiful country fields, spooked residents lock their doors at the first blare of warning sirens, while “not even the birds sing”.
That’s because this creepy community exists in the dark shadow of one of the UK’s most notorious – and troubled – high-security psychiatric hospitals, whose grim alumni include Charles Bronson, cannibal killer Peter Bryan, and Soham child murderer Ian Huntley.
Since in 1912, the village of Woodbeck in rural Nottinghamshire has existed cheek by jowl alongside Rampton mental health hospital – one of three such high-security institutions in the UK holding patients with dangerous, violent or criminal tendencies.
Despairing residents – many of whom have worked in the facility themselves – claim their house prices are stuck in a rut thanks to the prospect of living doors down from deadly criminals.
Others, in light of a recent damning watchdog report, reserve their biggest fears for the overworked staff at Rampton itself.
One former nurse, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Sun: “It’s a dangerous s**thole. It’s understaffed and morale is horrific.”
They added: “I would say a staff member is going to get killed.”
Around 400 patients, who have been detained under the Mental Health Act 1983, are currently housed at the site.
Originally opened as an “overspill” for Broadmoor Asylum, it covers 190 acres and consists of 14 high-security main ward blocks and 14 secure “villas”.
One villager, who has lived there for 20 years, described the procedures in place for locals in case any of the inmates ever managed to escape.
“If anyone got out, they’d be going somewhere,” they eerily told a local paper. “There’s a warning system and it’d be common sense to lock your doors if that ever happens.”
Fellow resident Julie Edwards added: “We get fire engines going by because of the nature of who’s in there, but you just expect that of an evening.”
In recent years, Woodbeck has been voted the worst place in Nottinghamshire for community wellbeing.
The lack of shops, buses or a school mean many residents feel “stuck” there, and they say it has become “more cut off” over the years as facilities have been stripped bare.
The average house price in Woodbeck is £150,000, far lower than the £269,000 seen across the UK.
During The Sun’s visit, one woman who was interested in purchasing a home there said she and her partner knew it faced the hospital, but had decided to take a look anyway, tempted by the price.
However, the woman, who asked not to be named, said: “It’s the creepiest place I’ve ever been and I’m not coming back.
“There’s something really spooky about it and I don’t feel comfortable here at all.
“It’s a good price and it’s quite spacious but it feels quite surreal. I can’t even hear the birds sing.”
Local mechanic Mark Smith told a local news outlet he fears that living so close to the secure hospital “does deduct the value of houses”, and described how congested it can get with Rampton workers during the week.
One resident explained the houses used to be all owned by the hospital itself, but are now privately owned or rented, with many staff buying them “on the cheap”.
Local Michael Warriner, meanwhile, said many people who move to the village to work at the hospital don’t generally stay long.
“It’s just something to secure their CV and they don’t really take pride in the area,” he said.
‘Anxious, isolated and unsafe’
The hospital hit the headlines in May after a healthcare watchdog stated that the facility requires “urgent improvement,” following its rating of “inadequate” in January 2024.
The Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS trust that runs it was being probed over the care of Nottingham killer Valdo Calocane, the paranoid schizophrenic who fatally stabbed three people in 2023.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) report said that between March 2024 and February 2025, staff submitted 777 incident forms where the reasons stated were “clinically unsafe staffing”.
The Sun spoke to a former nurse team leader who worked there for 11 years and still lives in Woodbeck, which was once filled with NHS workers.
The man, who wished to remain anonymous, claimed there is a culture of micromanagement and backstabbing, with staff severely undervalued and given little support.
The former staff member claimed there were situations that had been “swept under the carpet”, adding: “You have one qualified member of staff running back and forth between two or three wards.”
Martyn Farrow, who worked as a Rampton nurse for 12 years and then as a security officer for 13 years, lives a stone’s throw from the hospital’s imposing double fence.
The grandfather-of-seven, 69, says the hospital relies heavily on agencies, adding that staff play the system for an easier life.
He said: “There is no training like there used to be. When I first started working at Rampton, staff spent 18 months on a training course – now I’d be amazed if they did two days.
“There should never be one qualified person for two or three wards.
“In the past, some wards had 34 patients and six specialist staff per ward. It’s criminal mismanagement.”
The hospital was rated “requires improvement” by government watchdogs following an unannounced inspection in March.
While the CQC found some “clear improvements” had been made, it said the trust had work to do “to address staff shortages and support staff”.
Sometimes staff were found to be working alone at night, unable to take breaks, and reported feeling “anxious, isolated and unsafe”.
In January 2024 a coroner called for improvements at the hospital following the death of a patient who swallowed a crayon.
‘Child killer called me mum’
Villager Barry Woolley, 79, was a staff nurse at Rampton for 20 years and reminisced about the days when dances were held for patients and wards took part in football tournaments.
He said: “The patients came in and were told what they were doing, and a lot of the staff came from the forces. I think society is different now.”
Valerie Farrow was a nursing assistant in women’s services at Rampton with her husband Martyn, where she came to know Beverley Allitt, a former nurse who killed four babies and attempted to kill three others at a hospital in Grantham, Lincolnshire, in the 1990s.
The 77-year-old said: “If I hadn’t known what she’d done, I’d never have known. She was always all right with me.
“We’d talk about all sorts, nothing to do with her crimes. If they ever wanted to tell me what they had done, I’d listen, but I never asked.
“You have to put it all to the back of your mind.”
Who are the UK's worst serial killers?
THE UK's most prolific serial killer was actually a doctor.
Here’s a rundown of the worst offenders in the UK.
- British GP Harold Shipman is one of the most prolific serial killers in recorded history. He was found guilty of murdering 15 patients in 2000, but the Shipman Inquiry examined his crimes and identified 218 victims, 80 per cent of whom were elderly women.
- After his death Jonathan Balls was accused of poisoning at least 22 people between 1824 and 1845.
- Mary Ann Cotton is suspected of murdering up to 21 people, including husbands, lovers and children. She is Britain’s most prolific female serial killer. Her crimes were committed between 1852 and 1872, and she was hanged in March 1873.
- Amelia Sach and Annie Walters became known as the Finchley Baby Farmers after killing at least 20 babies between 1900 and 1902. The pair became the first women to be hanged at Holloway Prison on February 3, 1903.
- William Burke and William Hare killed 16 people and sold their bodies.
- Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe was found guilty in 1981 of murdering 13 women and attempting to kill seven others between 1975 and 1980.
- Dennis Nilsen was caged for life in 1983 after murdering up to 15 men when he picked them up from the streets. He was found guilty of six counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder and was sentenced to life in jail.
- Fred West was found guilty of killing 12 but it’s believed he was responsible for many more deaths.
Valerie grew so acquainted with Carol Barratt, who murdered an 11-year-old schoolgirl at a shopping centre in Doncaster in 1991, that the killer called her “mother” and invited her to her wedding.
“A few got married in Rampton,” she said. “I enjoyed the work. I felt I was doing something to help, it gave me a sense of purpose.”
Now, as troubling questions continue to be asked about the facility, residents of sleepy Woodbeck are being left with much darker memories.
Becky Sutton, Chief Operating Officer at Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, told The sun: “Our colleagues are dedicated to delivering excellent care, often in challenging circumstances.
“We actively listen to feedback from them, working in partnership to make improvements to support our colleagues and our patients, enhance safety and build a stronger learning culture.
“We know there is more to do, and we’re focused on working closely with colleagues to make further improvements so we can meet the standards our patients and colleagues deserve.”
