The Inbetweeners

Friday, 23 May 2008 11:14
Simon Bird, James Buckley, Joe Thomas and Blake Harrison star
Check out more clips from E4's new teen comedy The Inbetweeners, here on inthenews.co.uk.

The Inbetweeners is a six-part series about four teenagers growing up in suburbia and is the first ever original UK sitcom commission for E4. It's a world of futile crushes, sibling brawls, getting drunk too quickly, fancying the girl next door, casting aspersions on your friend’s sexuality and riding rollercoasters.

Will's (Simon Bird) parents have just divorced and he has unwillingly had to move area and change schools. He was previously at a private school, so has inherited some snobbish tendencies. He's now at a comprehensive school where he has had to make a new set of friends. His newly found peers, Simon (Joe Thomas), Jay (James Buckley) and Neil (Blake Harrison) are neither that cool and or that credible.

The Inbetweeners offers a comedic take on growing up in middle class suburbia. A place where there are no teen pregnancies, no drugs, no knife fights and no guns.

It's about a bunch of lads who get into real scrapes rather than real trouble.

The Inbetweeners episode six screens on Thursday May 29th at 22:00 on E4.

Episode six – Clip one - The boys try on some ‘jazzy’suits


Episode five – Clip two - Is the teacher really that ‘fit’?


And have a look at some blogs written by the Inbetweeners characters:

Will
Hello, I'm William McKenzie and I'm proud of how well I'm doing at making friends in my new school. So far I'm up to one real friend (Simon) a sort of semi-mate, who's really a friend of his (Neil) and a person I sort of hang around with but to be honest I think is a dickhead (Jay Cartwright). Acceptance isn't all, I know that, but it is a nice thing and I understand it will take time. I could do with it taking a bit less time, but there you go.

My interests are legion (it means many) and various. Books, rollercoasters and girls all feature highly and I'm hoping that I can meet a girl who enjoys these things. I haven't met many so far, but here's hoping.

I live with my mum who is separated from my father. My friends like to come round to stare at her because they believe, mistakenly, that she is fit. She isn't, she's like a mum.

I intend to have a career in politics or the media after I've attended one of the top universities in the country (maybe Durham) and travelled a bit. I'd like to go to Australia really as I'm quite a fan of the New Zealand pop group Crowded House. They are a bit old these days (although they did release a new album last year) but I think their breed of pop is timeless. I have a wide musical taste though and am also into a new band called Bedtime for Toys. They have influences that range from punk to pop, their lyrics are intense and poetic, but mainly I like them because I fancy the singer.

Neil
Alright? I'm not too bad, cheers. y name is Neil Sutherland and I'm in the sixth form at Rudge Park Comprehensive. I have no idea how I passed enough GCSEs to get in, but I'm well glad I did because it's a laugh most of the time and a doss and beats the s**t out of working I reckon. That looks well hard. A mate of mine is a panel beater and he's always well knackered in the evening.

I live with my sister and my dad. And before you say it, just because he hasn't got a girlfriend doesn't mean he's gay. He's not, alright?

I am definitely ready for a relationship, but I'd like to get it right. I'd like it if it was a bird from Nuts or Zoo, nothing too fancy just like a High Street Honey. That or Miss Timbs from school. She is sick. I've had so many wanks over her i feel a bit like she's my girlfriend. But she isn't, worse luck.

Jay Cartwright
Right, hello bitches. My name's Jay.

First off, this is not one of those blogs that mongs write to make them feel like they've achieved something with their lives. "Oooh, this is what I think, isn't it important, but also funny." No, it's not. It's embarrassing. No one cares. Grow up. Stop clogging up the internet, you're taking up valuable porn space. Blog mongs.

Facts worth knowing:
I get a lot more sex than you. Fact.
When I was 12 I thrashed Lewis Hamilton to become National Karting Champion. Fact.
At Glastonbury, Liam Gallagher asked me where I got my clothes. Fact.
Neil's dad is bent. Fact.

TV: South Park, Strutter, Laid Bare, Sexcetera, Babestation,
Films: Anything with Vin Diesel in it, Porn, South Park, Borat, It's all gone Pete Tong (pretty much based on my summer holiday last year)

Books: Are you bent?

Simon
Erm, hello. I'm Simon. My mates call me Si.

I go to a fairly uninspiring school in a fairly uninspiring town. What can I tell you about Rudge Park? Well last year some kids made up a song about our Maths teacher, Mrs Andrews. She was crippled by polio as a child and now walks with two sticks. She's one of the bravest people I know. Anyway, the song goes:

She is D.I.S.C.O. She is D.I.S.C.O.
She is D, disabled,
She is I, an invalid,
She is S, a spastic,
She is C a cripple,
She's got ooo-ooo-ooo, polio.

Oh, and last year one kid wrapped a bike chain around Tony Garner's head because he tried to start a drama club. It's fair to say it's not a great school.

Part of the reason I stayed on was because the real nutters always leave after Year 11. Unfortunately someone forgot to pass this news on to Mark Donovan, so what's actually happened is that the pool of people he can bully has been massively reduced. Which if anything means I'm now much more likely to go the way of Tony Garner.

But it's probably worth it just to get the opportunity to see Carli d'Amato every single day. She's smart and funny and unbelievably hot. She's amazing. OK, I know she's out of my league, but Christ, she's out of everyone's league. Stranger things have happened...

I can't think of any specific examples right now, but I know if I just spend some quality time around her, she'll start to see me for who I really am. And if I'm really lucky, I might get a sneaky look down her top when she's not looking.
