Product Description
From the award-winning creators of Peep Show, Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong, and starring Jack Whitehall, Joe Thomas (The Inbetweeners) and Robert Webb, Fresh Meat is Channel 4’s latest comedy drama series.
The series follows a group of six students about to embark on the most exciting period of their lives thus far--university. Away from home for the first time, on the brink of adult life, they are about to discover who they really are. From the moment they ship up as freshers at their shared house, their lives are destined to collide, overlap and run the whole gamut of appalling behaviour and terrible errors of judgement.
They are: JP (Jack Whitehall), public school boy with good teeth and an inflated sense of entitlement; Kingsley (Joe Thomas), charming, loveable and crushingly insecure; Josie (Kimberley Nixon), overly enthusiastic, determined to experience ‘new things’, however bad they are for you. Then there’s socially awkward and know-it-all Howard (Greg McHugh); straight talking, hard-living Vod (Zawe Ashton); and finally Oregon (Charlotte Ritchie), desperate to be cool and terrified of being boring.
Special Features
• Behind-the-scenes tour including cast interviews and out takes
• Deleted scenes

It's rare for an ensemble comedy not to have at least one weak link among the principals but Fresh Meat is one of the best written and acted dramas I've seen in years. The writing is witty and authentic and the performances are all good. Joe Thomas particularly excels in his 'socially awkward' mode and Jack Whitehall is hilarious as the posh twerp JP but Kimberley Nixon steals the show as Josie, the borderline certifiable girl-next-door with a mouth like a docker. The series is episodic but also has slow-burning themes which run throughout, the most immersive of which is the will-they-won't-they relationship between Kingsley (Thomas) and Josie; a potentially hackneyed storyline made good by subtle writing and fine acting.

Fresh Meat was my favourite find of 2011. The scary thing was that the whole premise of a group of Freshers sharing a house was still very reminiscent of my own student days (back in the 80's), including the obligatory trip to London on a fleet of buses for a Student Union march. It is the brilliant contrast of characters coupled with superbly observed writing that really makes this series. I love the head strong Vod, the doomed whimsical love / lust between Kingsley and Josie, the rich girl desperately trying to be cool (Oregon) and then the eccentric nerd (Howard). There are some really laugh out loud scenes, i.e. loved the student / lecturer dinner party and then confusion over the theories of `Jedward'. Roll on Series 2

Fresh Meat is brilliant. Its extremely funny, cleverly written and the characters are spot on - every single one of them I can relate to someone in my own friendship group. In particular, I think they got the costumes just right for each of the characters. I don't know how old the costume designers are, but they managed a very accurate portrayal of the different styles of young people/students (for example Vod's Hipster style), which I think shouldn't go unnoticed. Overall this is a very good, very funny series and I would definitely recommend it.
