DVD 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.

Superb 6 Jan 2012
By Steve Horsfall - Author / Writer TOP 1000 REVIEWER
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

Can't wait! 3 Dec 2011
This series, having recently ended, was brilliant. It seems nothing has been done quite like this before, the university setting feels new and exciting and the characters (especially that of Jack Whitehall) are very funny and relatively deep.
The feeling of Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain, with moments of severe awkwardness that really makes a good comedy (eg. The Office) making it particularly reminiscent of Peep Show.

Seeing as this DVD hasn't been released yet I can't comment on the extras, but if they're anything like other Channel 4 DVDs I'm sure they'll be of plenty and very funny.

Although possibly not up there with comedies like Peep Show or The Inbetweeners, this really is "fresh", it's nice to see Channel 4 keep making gems like this and Friday Night Dinner. I, personally, am really looking forward to it's release.

Great show, there is not one character I dislike in Fresh Meat. Why is it going to be a year from the series finishing and the DVD coming out though!?
