Beck played a pivotal role in creating a strong design aesthetic for season 4. With the return of the beloved show after a 10-year hiatus, the creative team aimed to revamp the style for a new class of students. Beck collaborated closely with designer Declan Price to completely overhaul the visual identity, introducing fresh set designs that captured the humor and energy of the narrative.
One of the unique challenges came from developing Fraser's (Matthew Horne) catalogue of new roles within the school after being fired as headmaster. This required innovative prop-making and character-driven spaces that not only reflected Fraser's evolving role but also provided rich opportunities for comedy and storytelling.
