Can't Read Can't Write is a shocking and moving Channel 4 series, which reveals the hidden realities of Britain's adult literacy crisis. Nine illiterate adults enrol for a six-month reading course which they hope will change their lives. Each has spent over ten years in the education system and yet has failed to learn the most basic skills. Can the inspirational and award-winning teacher Phil Beadle succeed where other teachers have failed?
