Every adorable pic of the Sex Education cast being best mates behind the scenes

Imagine you love a TV show, and all of the characters in it, with your entire, 10 ounce, anatomically correct, beating heart. Imagine that all of the characters are best friends on screen, they love each other, they make fun of each other. It's very convincing and all is well. Then you find out they aren't mates in real life.

Nothing is akin to that kind of heartbreak. Sex and the city, The Notebook, Dirty Dancing. Some of these classics were built on actors pure raging at each other, but hiding it on screen thanks to the magic of acting.

Sex Education is not one of these examples. Thank. God. The cast all adore each other, spend loads of time together outside of the show, and seem to goof around a lot on set. Aimee and Adam are even in a real life relationship. You literally love to see it.

You know what else you love to see? Physical evidence of all these friendships, so here you are:
