- Talking about sex with your mom
is just the worst thing ever.
- I hope not, that is awkward. (Mimi snorting)
- Even reading it, I start to cry.
(upbeat music) (air whooshing)
- What's up, guys?
I'm Asa Butterfield.
- Hi, I'm Aimee Lou Wood.
- Hi, I'm Mimi.
- Hello, my name is Ncuti Gatwa
and we are the cast of "Sex Education."
- Today, we're with Buzzfeed UK,
and we're going to be reading out some of your fan tweets.
- "Everyone loves the 'Sex Education' mom,
until it's your mom,
and starts talking about sex during dinner."
- It's not nice when you're a teenager.
No one wants to talk about sex.
Your parents don't even wanna talk about sex.
You'd be obliged to,
and it's just awkward for everyone, so I can relate.
- My mom has now recently tried to start doing that more
and it's traumatizing
because I'm like, "We're not doing that, Mom."
- "'Sex Education' really was ahead of its time
with the whole wash your hands thing."
- Yeah, I remember.
But yeah, yeah,
and the masks, the whole of episode one in season two,
when I'm going around wearing those N45 masks,
whatever they call them.
- It was scary looking back on that,
considering the year that we just had.
Washing our hands, the masks, people are just scared.
- I have always said this and are stunned by it.
Ncuti is magical and he can see the future.
- I think the first time I,
I realized people were using my face
and say, "Wash your hands,"
was when someone sent me an I need sex poster.
(Ncuti laughing)
I had my face on it.
My mom actually works for the NHS.
And when she caught wind of that,
she found it very funny.
- "This scene is too powerful, too meaningful,
too important."
Even reading it, I start to cry.
It's so, I wonder when that's actually gonna go away
because every time I talk about this scene, I still tear up.
- Episode seven, season two,
possibly my favorite episode of season two.
Yeah, it's so nice to have,
like, a real team of powerful women
who not, necessarily friends,
but really find solidarity in each other.
It was really cool to see.
I'm not surprised that people love that.
- It happens more than probably people realize,
and I think gets brushed over a lot.
And sexual assault,
and I think that that is a,
that's a really, really, really great scene.
Women standing together, that's what we need.
We need lots more of that.
- "'Sex Education' ruined me completely.
I've been crying nonstop
by watching the last episode of season two.
The show is a must see!"
Well, I hope you're feeling better and recovered since then.
You know, I'm glad, we need to cry sometimes.
We need that catharsis.
We need that release.
So, I'm glad that you had it.
- You will most definitely see some tear-jerking scenes.
There's gonna be some emotional moments.
I won't ruin it and tell you too much,
but I hope that you'll be crying.
So that's what we're going for.
- "The fact that I practically forced my mom
to watch 'Sex Education' with me and now she's obsessed."
- Good, 'cause it's for everyone.
So, you should force as many people to watch it,
'cause then they'll get hurt.
- Start this conversations with your parents, friends,
let's get to talking about sex, baby.
- "I want to be best friends with the 'Sex Education' cast.
How do I do this?"
Probably, very easily.
We are all quite friendly people.
- Do you know what?
Come to Wales, come and hang out.
(Ncuti laughing)
We're all friendly people.
Come and be part of the gang.
Yeah, come around to the chalet,
come round to Otis's house for a cup of tea.
- Burb.
"Be right back.
Crying about the beautiful ways girls support girls.
#SexEducation."
I'm also crying still every time I talk about the bus scene
and the smashing scene, and all of that.
And I'm so honored and grateful
that I got to be a part of it
and it is beautiful.
Girls supporting girls is beautiful.
- I think the more of it that we see, the better.
And I think the more of it that is seen
and shown, hopefully, will encourage more of it taking place
in real life, 'cause that's what we need.
- Well, do you know what,
I'm gonna join you in the back there crying
because that, and yeah,
all those scenes like Maeve and Aimee scenes,
and all the female solidarity in "Sex Education"
is very beautiful to watch.
I think all the friendships in "Sex Education"
are very beautiful to watch.
- "I love a cost that is so close
and almost like they have been best friends forever.
It really makes the show better on screen as well.
'Sex Education.'"
- The chemistry, I think,
that people relate to on the show is real.
And I guess the writers now kind of like
write for us a little bit
and write for our relationships a little bit.
And so that's cool that we've gotten to that point.
- We're so lucky, that,
I mean that we all just get on so well.
I know we are so close.
And I think, especially for a show like "Sex Ed,"
where you're potentially doing these embarrassing things
and talking about these topics,
it's nice to know you can contribute.
We all have such trust between us to kind of do our bit
and we bring our best to the show because we all love it
and we love what it represents.
- "Um, this show is so good
and actually respects inclusive,
queer-affirming sex education.
Not to mention it's diverse in so many levels,
including race, gender, and ability.
Thank you @netflix."
- That's nice.
I mean, that's what we're trying to do.
And I think Laurie, not just Laurie,
the whole creative team behind it,
they've done an amazing job.
- Just very proud, really,
and lucky to be, be a part of something that's this,
that inclusive.
That's the whole point.
And I hope that we see more of that.
But, yeah, definitely lucky to be a part of it.
- Hopefully, we continue to expand on that and,
and tell lots more people stories.
But it does feel really cool
to be a part of something that's doing that.
"I'm watching #sexeducation on #netflix,
and one of the characters came out as pansexual.
I've never seen someone like me on TV.
It's so nice to be able to see someone just like me."
Yes!
I'm glad that you feel seen.
Yeah, I mean the sexuality spectrum is so wide and beautiful
and I hope we can try and incorporate everyone, all,
all those beautiful colors of the rainbow.
- I think it's really important
that everyone gets represented
'cause I can't imagine what it's like
if you never see someone who's like you on TV,
but that's one of the best things about the show.
And it's probably one of the things
that I hear the most is like, people saying,
that watching the show has been the first time
where they felt like they were represented.
You know, on screen, in a character, in a show,
which is very special.
Thank you so much for all your amazing tweets
about the show.
- And thank you so much for your support.
And we hope that you love season three,
as much as we loved making it.
- Enjoy season three,
and I'll see you on Netflix.
