For Red Nose Day 2011, the stars of the programme travelled around the UK in the yellow Fiat Cinquecento Hawaii featured in the programme in a special named The Inbetweeners: Rude Road Trip. The aim was to try to find the 50 rudest place names in the country. Across its three series, The Inbetweeners operated under the cover of the characters’ age and inexperience. The show got away with such crassness and puerility because it was supposed to be crass and puerile: these were children, fully loaded with ignorance, naivety and stupidity. It laughed at the pathetic wretchedness of their behaviour, poking particular fun at Jay’s lies about his sexual triumphs. It also knew how to craft a genuinely comic scene: Simon’s accidental exposure of his testicle on the runway of a school fashion show is base but undeniably funny. For all the vulgarity and insensitivity, the TV show was always redeemed by the setting and situation. Where The Inbetweeners truly jumped the shark was during its transition to the big screen, where its characters reached adulthood but the humour didn’t. The US version began airing in the UK on 5 December 2012 on E4. A UK DVD release of the US version was released on 8 January 2013. [46] The US version was broadcast on Viacom-owned Freeview channel Viva from 4 August 2014. [47] Fwends Reunited [ edit ]O'Grady, Sean (2 January 2019).

At the beginning of August 2013, creators Iain Morris and Damon Beesley confirmed that a second Inbetweeners film would be made with a planned release date of 6 August 2014 in the UK and Ireland; they released a statement saying "We couldn't be more excited to be making another Inbetweeners movie. A new chapter in the lives of the Inbetweeners feels like the very least we can do to thank the fans for their phenomenal response to the first movie." This sequel is set in Australia.

Ten years ago this week, a comedy about a quartet of hapless sixth-formers debuted on E4. The channel’s first original sitcom was met with a dismissive review by the Radio Times and tiny viewing figures. Just three years later, The Inbetweeners Movie was breaking records at the box office, the show had a Bafta award and the critics were fully on board the banter bus (the show has a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes). A decade on, The Inbetweeners has established itself as one of the most successful UK sitcoms of the 21st century.

A decade ago, its depictions of underage drinking, thwarted sexual urges, bad house parties, bravado, unrequited love and public embarrassments offered an unusually accurate picture of male teenage life. It succeeded in capturing those raging anxieties: from the fear of an in-school poo, to the wrath of bullies and the humiliation of rejection. It presented a world where A-levels, scoring alcohol and putting your hand down someone else’s trousers – or your own – were primary life goals.

DD (11) recently brought home her year-book for primary leavers. Each child in the top year completed a survey of most embarrassing moment at primary, favourite TV programme, favourite foods etc. Families can talk about whether the way the characters talk on The Inbetweeners is realistic. Teens: Is this the way you talk with your friends? Do you hear others talking this way? Big John (John Seaward) is a fellow student. John is one of the new kids who start school on the same day as Will. He is often referred to as one of the freaks and is often seen as an overweight social outcast whom the boys try to avoid. Nevertheless, during season 1, he comes to the defence of Will, tries to boost Jay's confidence and speaks to him about the frustration of wanting to be noticed. In December 2014, parallel with the release of the film's sequel, a special edition with both films was released on DVD. [23] Extended version [ edit ] Genzlinger, Neil (25 January 2010).

Simon Cooper ( Joe Thomas) is the most cynical and hot-headed of the group, being prone to bouts of hysterical swearing at the slightest provocation; his on-off relationship with Carli propels many of the plots.
