The InbetweenersAmerican Pie mixed with Peep Show
Suburban teenage friends Will, Simon, Jay and Neil, students at Rudge Park Comprehensive, attempt to navigate the social scene, attract members of the gentler sex, and saunter amongst the cool crowd. However, despite their best efforts, the four hapless lads usually end up on the side of the nerds.

First Day
May 1, 2008
When his father walks out on his mother and himself, bespectacled, nerdy Will McKenzie is forced to leave his private school and enrol at the local Rudge Park Comprehensive, where his accent and appearance make him an easy target for the school bully. Seeking to make friends with 'normal' lads, Will pals up with Jay, Neil and Simon, but none are exactly winners, as is evidenced when they try to buy alcohol in a pub.
Bunk Off
May 1, 2008
The four bunk off School and get drunk. Simon tells Carli D'amato he loves her by writing it on her drive way in big letters. It ends badly when Simon and Will's parents find out what they've been doing all day.
Thorpe Park
May 8, 2008
Simon passes his driving test on first attempt, less on account of his skills than the fact that Tracey, the saucy examiner, finds him cute. As promised, he agrees to take his friends to Thorpe Park, where he can get in free as he knows the man who clears up the sick. Once on the road, the others realise that Simon is a rubbish driver.
Will Gets a Girlfriend
May 15, 2008
To the amazement - and annoyance - of the other three boys, Will wins a Blind Date competition which pairs him off with Charlotte Hinchcliffe, the most desired girl in the school, and he even ends up in bed with her though he keeps his socks on.
Caravan Club
May 22, 2008
The boys call Jay's bluff and agree to go to the Camber Sands meeting of the Caravan Club to see if it really is 'like a massive orgy'. Jay's dad is on hand to give advice on all matters sexual, whether they want it or not, Simon is falsely accused of rape, Will 'skids' and Neil leaves a surprise on Simon's car seat.
Xmas Party
May 29, 2008
It's the end of term and Will has been voted the chairman of the Christmas prom committee, an enviable position indeed.

Four teenager boys in their final couple of years at High School, and we follow their exploits both in and out of the classroom. I think I must have missed this great show first time round back in 2008, but I have to say after watching all three seasons almost back2back in the last month or so, I can safely this this is a very funny sitcom! Being female my experiences at High School were not a million miles away from these guys, although I was at a girls-only school. But this show focusing on boys turning into young men with heavy influences on all those teenage things we all probably shared back in the day. Namely, underage drinking in pubs, sex, peer pressure, arguments with parents, our first car, sex, rebelling against the system, a hatred for teachers, sex, drugs, sex and err... more sex! The four boys in question are a perfect eclectic mix of the nice-but-dim boy (Neil), the posh public schoolboy roughing it in a comprehensive (Will), the big headed-day-dreamer boy (Jay), and the legover boy (Simon) Most of the show is seen through the eyes of Will, and his awkward experiences of trying to fit in into a state school because his mother could no longer afford to pay for his private education after a divorce. Simon is his best friend. Simon hates his parents, but only when it suits. He is also desperate to get a girlfriend, not so much to fall in love with, but more to do with getting his leg over so as to brag in front if his mates that has has finally had sex! This peer pressure is driven by Jay. He lives in a fantasy world, constantly bragging about how many women/girls he's had, and what a great sexual monster he is. Although the reality is rather different! And finally there's Neil - he is a little bit slow on the uptake, and doesn't really have any original thoughts of his own other than to get drunk, date girls (and failing) and become a "airplane driver" There is a lot of bad language and sexual references. But on the flip side there is no nudity (as such) and the sex scenes are subtly done. There's plenty of laughs to go round, although I did feel come the 3rd season that the novelty was beginning to wear a bit thin. And it's just as well the TV show ended there (although there were two films subsequently made) Probably not a show you would want to watch with your parents, but it is hugely funny in a very vulgar puerile kind of way.
