Advantages: funny

Disadvantages: rude

Series 1 of this show was probably 4 out of 5 stars - very funny, but occasionally too silly for my liking. With season 2, they've tightened it up, and come up with some absolutely hilarious scenes. The characters are now well established, as is Will in his new school, so it's time to make the comedy even better.

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 range from dumb as dumb can be (Neil), to filthy sex obsessed (Jay), and a bit normal (Simon).

The dialogue from Jay is as rude as it gets on prime-time TV, as he is ever on the hunt for 'clunge', so this is not one for the easily offended.

The acting is simple, and the characters pretty one dimensional, but it's funny enough to forget all that.

The DVD contains a whole heap of extras:

Special Features:
Day in the life of video diaries (four main actors)
Littlehampton Featurette
Meet the Team
Mr Gilbert interview
Easter egg
Deleted Scenes
Outtakes/Bloopers


For me, the bloopers and outtakes are the best - it's so funny to see people mess up, and these guys are so funny in the first place, it just makes it even better.

All in all, this is a great DVD, and for a great price. I can't wait for series 3 :)
