But that's all come to an end now the fourth and final series of her creation Sex Education is out. "I'm going to take a moment to remember what my brain feels like without writing so many penis jokes," she says. The Netflix teen sex comedy has boldly tackled topics including slut-shaming, abortion, virginity and masturbation - and that was just the first series. It's also highlighted everything from sexual assault and STDs to disability and trans identities since it was first streamed. So as the final series is released, writer Laurie reflects on the impact it's had. "It's been really wonderful to see how people have connected with the characters and also the subject matter," she tells BBC Newsbeat. "I hope that people enjoy the final outing."

That teenage sex therapist turned into the inexperienced Otis (Asa Butterfield) who, encouraged by the entrepreneurial Maeve (Emma Mackey), ends up running a self-styled clinic at their school Moordale. "It was a real opportunity to make a TV show that is really funny and entertaining and quite crude, and sometimes really outrageous," Laurie says. "But it's also able to touch on topics that young people feel are important when it comes to talking about their sexuality and identity." Viewers have grown attached to characters as they discover their sexualities and gender identities, while the show's also raised awareness of little-known conditions. And that's a particular point of pride for Laurie, who highlights Lily's (Tanya Reynolds) storyline){kind=link}
