Development
The TV series is a collaboration between Astro and the Malaysian Ministry of Education as part of an initiative to improve the pronunciation of English among Malaysians, in line with the ministry's "Upholding Bahasa Malaysia, Strengthening English" or (MBMMBI) policy. Astro worked with the ministry since 2009 to publish world-class learning programs to schools throughout Malaysia through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Kampus Astro. This project has also equipped 10,000 schools in Malaysia with flat-screen television equipment, Astro decoders and 17 education and information channels including History channel, Discovery, National Geographic, Astro Tutor TV, Astro TVIQ and others.[1]
Synopsis
Season 1
A design school called SMK Ayer Dalam has a ‘3 Merah’ class which is famous as a class that has a variety. No teacher wants to teach in this class because his students are known for their very naughty attitude, like to make noise and their worst academic results in the school. Their least favorite subject is English.
Finally, an English teacher named Henry Middleton (played by Zain Saidin) appeared. Henry's unique and encouraging way of teaching has been able to attract the attention and interest of students to learn English.
Season 2
Mr. Middleton has changed his mind not to return to the UK. She continued her work in Merah Class 3, and learned more about her 'new home' country.
