I think you've got to go Otis and Maeve, man.
-Oh, really? -I'm right here!
I'm right here.
Mimi's here. Ruby isn't, you know?
Hi, I'm Gena.
I'm here with Mimi and Chaneil
who play Ruby and Anwar in Sex Education
and these are their Netflix Nine.
Sex Education has finally returned.
We're on season three now,
and a lot has happened in the last two seasons.
Can you tell me where each of your characters are now
in season three?
Oh.
Doing a very new thing.
She is in her first relationship.
Well, not just yet at the beginning.
-Yeah. -Getting into it.
Yeah, so she's kind of just opening up more
and you just see a very different side behind the…
the barrier that has been up in previous seasons,
which I think is really nice.
That's my favourite thing
about playing her this season.
Yeah, it's nice.
Chaneil, what about you? What about Anwar?
He's in a bit of a different position
at the start of the season
because, like you said, about the relationship,
I think Anwar feels a bit threatened
that he's losing his friend a bit
and that someone's joining this new posse.
He didn't like that.
But I think, also, he goes on a nice journey
in the sense that you see, like,
a nicer side to,
I think just the untouchables in general.
They're less selfish, I'd say.
More supportive of each other.
And other people as well,
with what happens in the school.
Do either of you have a favourite storyline
from this season?
Yeah. Yeah, I'd probably say the school trip, man.
Like the antics that happen on the school trip.
-It's a big one. -Damn.
It's a big one, but it's so funny as well.
That is such a good episode!
Your storyline's quite nice, actually.
Why, thank you.
I agree with you though, actually,
on the school trip.
I completely forgot.
That was probably the funniest.
That had the funniest,
personally what I thought was the funniest scene.
Like, where we all were just like: "We need to not laugh
so we can get through this day and go home."
I don't know how you all do it, honestly.
-It's hard sometimes. -We don't.
You're probably looking at the fiftieth take.
If there's a season four,
what part of each of your characters,
or you could even say any other character,
but what part of each of your characters
would you like to see more of?
If you could see anything else about their life…
I want to see Amwar's home life.
I want to know why he's such a twat all the time.
Me too.
I feel there's something that could be
triggering him a little bit maybe.
I feel like they… I mean, your…
They look into your home life.
Yeah, and that's really good.
I would love to do that for yours.
-It would be sick. -That'd be interesting.
For mine,
I'd say, towards the end,
she feels very different this season.
Like just doesn't care as much,
because she's very concerned with everything.
So I think seeing more of the side of her
that just doesn't care.
Like just makes out with the guy next to her.
-Yeah. -Because why not?
We're all having a good time.
Living your best life.
So, yeah, definitely more of that side, yeah.
This season, I think, one of the biggest plot twists,
in my opinion, is the fact that Ruby,
spoiler alert, but everyone will have seen it by now,
is in a relationship with Otis.
Did either of you predict that
that was going to happen
at the end of season two when it wraps?
Were you like: "I think Ruby's going to be
in a relationship with Otis?"
I didn't think relationship.
Definitely not.
That was a surprise for me when I found out.
It was very exciting because I thought:
"God, how is that going to work with her?"
She's selfish.
I don't know if you've noticed.
-Yeah, just a little bit. -She's a little…
She's a little bit selfish, so I was thinking:
"That's going to be nice for her to share
her time in life with someone else."
But it's nice.
It was nice to take away
a little bit of the selfishness
and play it a little bit more sweet.
Good for me.
And, Chaneil, are you team Otis and Maeve
or do you have a soft spot for Otis and Ruby?
I think you've got to go Otis and Maeve.
-Oh, really? -I'm right here.
I'm right here.
Mimi's here. Ruby isn't.
Alright, fine.
That's fine. I take that on the chin.
What about you?
Do you have… Obviously you play Ruby, so…
I'm going to have to stand up for my character here
as I've been sold directly down the river by my friend.
So I'm going to definitely say I like Rotis.
I think it's really good.
-I think it's really cute! -I think it's very funny.
I like when he comes into our group.
I think it's, I mean,
it's not easy for him, but it's really funny.
What's something that's happened to you
since starting your role on Sex Education
that you didn't expect?
The Netflix afterparty
at the BAFTAs was pretty nuts, wasn't it?
-Yes. -That was surreal.
Actually I would probably say that is
exactly what it is for both of us.
Yeah, I'd probably say that.
Would you say that
that's the moment where you were like: "What the hell?"
Like, is it a pinch me moment?
Yeah. It definitely was.
Like: "Am I asleep? Am I really here?"
-Just disbelief. -Yeah, yeah. Definitely.
That and a lot of weird DMs, I'd say.
-Oh, yeah. -I can imagine.
I'm always fascinated by the answer to this question,
so other than the characters that you play,
who's your favourite character on Sex Education?
-Mr. Hendricks. -Yeah, yeah.
-Really? -Yeah, Mr. Hendricks.
-It is Mr. Hendricks. -That is a good answer.
100%.
I don't get how he's not people's favourite.
A man puts on a masterclass.
-Every single time. -It's nuts.
And he doesn't even have to be speaking.
It might just be the way he stands.
Yeah, yeah.
He's just…
-Fantastic. -I love him.
Obviously your group is called the untouchables
in Sex Education,
but if both of you were to create
your own popular kids group
with yourself and two other celebrities
of your choosing,
who would it be?
Yo, man. I'd definitely take Drake.
I feel like I'd have a ball of a time with that man.
-That would be great. -Oh my God.
Drake would get in there.
I'm bringing in David Attenborough
just because I really want to meet him.
He's… That's why I'm bringing him in.
I mean, I don't know whether he would…
He's not bitchy. He seems like a lovely man.
And I just really, really want to meet him,
so I'm bringing him in for that reason.
If we want to stay on the topic
of trios in pop culture,
obviously untouchables is a trio within pop culture now.
I want each of you to choose between
these famous trios from TV and film, ok?
So, which threesome is more iconic
in your personal opinions?
This is personal opinions,
so don't come for anyone in the comments, ok?
So,
Harry, Ron and Hermione from Harry Potter
or Luke, Leia and Han from Star Wars?
-Harry Potter. -Is that the choice?
-That's it. Harry Potter. -100%.
Hands down. Every night.
Regina, Gretchen and Karen from Mean Girls
or Natalie, Alex and Dylan from Charlie's Angels,
but specifically the one that starred
Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore?
I feel like Charlie's Angels
because they've got your back.
-Like they kick arse. -No, that's true.
But now I feel like such a traitor to Mean Girls.
-Yeah. -It raised me.
-Oh my God, I don't know. -It's a hard one.
It is hard.
Ok, I'm going to say Mean Girls
because you said Charlie's Angels.
We're picking both.
It's two people. Can we not pick both?
-I'll allow it. -Just for this one?
Because that was ridiculously hard, but ok.
-Ok. -It's a draw.
Lizzie, Gordo and Miranda from Lizzie McGuire
or Raven, Eddie and Chelsea from That's So Raven?
-That's So Raven. -That's So Raven.
-Good choice. -100%.
That's a good choice.
Alright, last one:
Buffy, Willow and Xander from
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
or Prue, Phoebe and Piper from Charmed?
No, ooh.
I never used to watch Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
I used to watch Charmed though sometimes,
so I'm going to go Charmed.
I watched Buffy The Vampire.
She's slaying vampires, so yeah.
I'll pick her
and you pick Charmed.
Ok.
It's another draw because I didn't watch Charmed.
So, I think that each of the characters
in the untouchables
are characters that are tough on the outside
but soft on the inside.
Which member of the untouchables do you think
is actually the softest, and why?
-Simone's maybe… -I would say Olivia, yeah.
Simone's character Olivia, yeah.
Oh yeah, she does…
Yeah, I'd say she's the most sensitive.
She's mean. Don't get me wrong.
She's one of us.
There's a cuteness to some of her meanness sometimes.
-Yeah. -Whereas us it's like venom.
Yeah. With us, I think it's more spiteful.
With her, it's like trying, but, you know…
But there's a sweetness behind her meanness, yeah.
And what about the three of you in real life?
-No, we're all lovely. -Ok.
We are really nice.
I'm not going to sell you down the river on that one.
Thank you.
Mimi, Chaneil, thank you so much.
These are your Netflix Nine. Thank you!
-Thanks. -Well done.
