Can't wait for this, it's so much better then the Inbetweeners and stuff.

Love it, can watch it now on 4od or e4 tonight.

I worked with Andrew Brook too whose really funny in real life too, hope you enjoy it!
 
I've seen the trailer during the inbetweeners the last couple of weeks....it looks a bit crap tbh. If you can't make a funny trailer then I don't hold out a lot of hope for a full length episode.
 
Saw the pilot, it was okay but i thought we'd all decided that it was decent as a one off, but would get boring quickly as a series. Can't believe they chose this over some of the others, what sort of 'focus group' did they pick?

Nevertheless, i'll give it a go.

From the trailers I have seen I find it hard to believe this will be anywhere near as good as The Inbetweeners.

Inbetweeners ain't even that good this series, they try to hard, it's crap.

Only series 1-2 was good, atleast with phone shop i actually laughed instead of just little smirks.
 
Much more interested to see where Campus goes when it finally airs. Green Wing was the best sitcom to come out of the UK for years, but the pilot of Campus left me with mixed opinions...
 
This was a terrible example of someone who thinks their funny, trying to jump onto a popular bandwagon and failing massively.

Massive boos.
 
Trailer looks awful and I saw a test episode preview a few months back and it was the worst thing ever :(

That's what I thought about the Inbetweeners. I finally watched a full episode last week and now I see what all the fuss was about.

I won't be watching this show though. The chav accents make me want to cut my ears off.
 
I did try to give this a chance but it is unbearably terrible. Like The Inbetweeners a lot though and I do agree that so far this series hasnt been quite as good as the previous two.

The woman is fit but Token and the Ricky Gervais wannabe forced me to switch over to QI :D

Haha I thought that the "Ricky Gervais Wannabe" was the funniest - probably only funny though because he just sounds like a clone of Ricky Gervais :p

Just looked on Wikipedia and Ricky Gervais was one of the Script Editors, so I guess his sort of comedy has made its way into that character :p

Overall though, it was a waste of 30 minutes of my life :p
 
It might have Simons dad in it but it isnt anywhere near as good as the inbetweeners. I had my doubts when watching the advert (if you cant find 1 good joke to put in the advert then what hope is there for the rest....) but the program itself was just aweful.

This season of the inbetweeners has really picked up the pace and is back on top form (I was still laughing loads when it was being criticised though xD).
 
I actually found it quite funny, probably because of the many years of my life I spent working in a phone shop.

Funnily enough, the shows maker, Talkback Thames were a regular customer of mine, and the little assistant manager they talk about who will do anything to make a sale reminds me so much of one of my former colleagues I could cry.
