BBC Three - The Unbreakables: Life & Love on Disability Campus, Episode 2

We meet the excitable new freshers embarking on their first taste of freedom.

Series about life at National Star College in Gloucestershire. Every September, 170 students from around the UK begin a new year of study - we meet some of the excitable freshers.

Documentary series about life at National Star College in Gloucestershire, a further education college for people with physical disabilities, acquired brain injuries and associated learning difficulties.

Every September, 170 students from around the UK begin a new year of study at National Star. Many live on campus for three years and revel in the specialist teaching, state-of-the-art facilities, end-of-term balls and, more than anything, the freedom of a new life.

For these students, their time at college is a time for firsts, whether that is their first time crossing the road or their first time playing spin-the-bottle. In the second part of the series, we meet the excitable new freshers embarking on their first taste of freedom, including 20-year-old Dan who has cerebral palsy and dreams of being a DJ.

We're also introduced to the Overton Gang, a noisy, fun-loving bunch of friends who are the most independent students at college. This group includes the college 'hottie' Nicky, who wasn't born with a disability - at 17 she incurred a brain injury after she drove into a tree on her way to her college prom. Nicky now enjoys her new life at Overton House where the group get up to the usual student hijinks of vodka shots and truth-or-dare. They grow up fast, which can make trips home emotive - as we witness one of the gang, Josh, opening up to his mum when remembering his teenage life.

A multi-platform service for 16-34s, featuring comedy, entertainment and factual content.

The BBC’s multi-platform service for 16 to 34s, innovating with breakthrough comedy, stand-out entertainment, brave documentary and intellectual factual content.
