The Inbetweeners (DVD)

INTRODUCTION The inbetweeners series one premiered on E4 on the 1st of May 2008, the show is predominantly about four 16-17 year old lads in their first year of sixth form, the show name 'the inbetweeners' relates to the four boys as not being popular or cool, however not being geeky or nerdy, and for that reason they are in the middle which causes lots of different embarrassing things to happen. The four lads are all very different from each other, but can relate to almost any real life group of people as you have: the posh socially inept one, the one who is an outright liar and sex maniac, the dumb one and the sexually confused one who can't take ...  Read the complete review

Take four young, very different males, around 16/17, who become close friends, are all desperate to loose their virginity, and have a 'hot' girlfriend. The trials and errors which they incur is encapsulated in the comedy series The Inbetweeners. The Inbetweeners follows the lives of Will, Simon, Jay and Neil. They all attend sixth form at Rudge Park Comprehensive, and seem uninspired with life, until the matter of girls come up. This mixed with cheap booze, is the focal point of many of the episodes. Each boy is funny and entertaining in their own right. I found parts of each episode very amusing, and other parts slightly annoying. The main ...  Read the complete review

I first came across the Inbetweeners on BT vision, several months after it had been shown on E4 and actually watched series 2 first. The first one I watched made me laugh out loud (and it takes a lot for me to do that) and I had to watch all of them pretty much back to back. I am now catching up on the first series as it is being shown on channel 4. But I didn't miss anything by watching it the wrong way round! The programme follows the lives of 4 boys who are 17 and in the process of sitting their A levels. It is narrated in parts by Will who has moved to the new comprehensive school from a private school. He was being bullied in his last school ...  Read the complete review

Series 1 of a lot of shows are not very good in hind-sight, but no so with the Inbetweeners, which you can pick up on DVD for just £13. The show is all about a group of A Level students in an inner city school. They are your typical lads, interested in nothing but sex and alcohol, and the comedy revolves around the different mix-ups they get into in pursuit of these goals. The characters are a real mix, and that makes it so funny. The narrator of the show is the posh boy nerd, Will, who has come down to earth with a bang when he couldn't go to private school anymore. After a rough start (briefcase wa**er), he soon fits in with a group of mates who ...  Read the complete review

This DVD of the first series of The Inbetweeners is a must have for your collection if you enjoyed the first series. (The second series on E4 is certainly living up to the hype as well.) This series introduces us to Will, Simon, Jay and Neil. Will can no longer go to private school and so he goes to the local school where he meets the other three boys. Jay is foul and is always ready with a disgusting comment, Neil is very thick but an honest and likeable character and Simon is completely in love with a girl but never seems able to tell her. He also is quite unlucky and seems to land himself in trouble with the help of his friends. There are some ...  Read the complete review
