Product Description

All six episodes from the first series of the comedy drama following the lives and trials of four new sixth-formers. With his parents recently divorced, private school boy Will McKenzie (Simon Bird) has to move into the sixth form at the local comprehensive. After an initial rough patch, not helped by dressing like the archetypal geek and carrying a briefecase, he makes friends with Simon (Joe Thomas), Neil (Blake Harrison) and Jay (James Buckley), who, although they're slightly more streetwise, are just as uncool. Desperately trying to raise their kudos, they soon embark on a series of embarrassing atttempts to try and woo the opposite sex, with varying degrees of success.

Synopsis

Combine the juvenile smut of Superbad with the cringing embarrassment of Peep Show, against the 'stylish' backdrop of Grange Hill, and what do you get? E4's hilarious comedy The Inbetweeners. A super sharp, one-liner packed celebration of the highs and lows of being a teenager. Perfectly capturing the relentless disappointment of suburban adolescence, the show's four main characters yearn for sex, booze and cheap thrills, without the emotional maturity, money or ID to get them. Briefcase-carrying nerd Will (Simon Bird) has recently left the relative sophistication of private school to join Rudge Park Comprehensive, where he befriends Simon (Joe Thomas), Jay (James Buckley) and Neil (Blake Harrison); a group precariously straddling the social gulf between the in-crowd and the outcasts. This release contains the complete first series, and features a wealth of rubbish insults, even more rubbish come-backs, and plenty of mum-jokes. With some invaluable life-lessons on wooing the ladies, bunking off school, getting served in the pub, and why you should always, always remember proper etiquette on a roller coaster.

Extras
– Audio commentaries by the writers/cast/ producer
– Video diaries from all four cast members
– The making of documentary
– Meet the cast (what the boys are really like)
– Deleted scenes

5.0 out of 5 stars Made me laugh out loud 12 July 2008
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I found this programme on E4 by accident a few weeks ago, and,honestly, it's one of the best/funniest things I've ever seen. Made me laugh out loud and I can't remember the last time that happened. (I'm a miserable ***). All the characters and general plots have been well described by others so I won't repeat their comments apart from agreeing wholeheartedly with them - apart from one (Right, Graeme?) So glad it's on DVD and there MUST be another series. I wish I could buy the entire cast/crew/writers and everyone else a drink.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Loved It 30 May 2008
Format:DVD
I saw the 6th episode on e4 last night, and have to say its one of the best shows for a long time. its incredibly easy to relate to, not one episode lets it down and i just pray to god they commission a second series, and perhaps airing it on channel 4 to boost ratings might help.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!! 16 Nov 2008
Format:DVD
I watched some of the episodes the first time round but kept on forgetting it was on each week. Have recently found it being repeated by accident a couple of weeks ago after watching Desperate Housewives. Both my son (17) and I (46) were in stitches and crying with laughter. can't wait to watch the episode with the car - as it reminded me of my son starting his driving lessons!! and am soooo looking forward to watching the episodes I haven't yet seen

5.0 out of 5 stars As fit as Wills' Mum! 28 Jun 2008
By A Wolf
Format:DVD
This is what Channel 4, E4, comedy used to be about. With Peep Show starting to lose its edge (only just) and off the wall stuff like Father Ted a fond memory it desperately needed something and this is it.

I hated Skins, Hollyoaks for grown ups, and could never get away with the 'thumbs up to the drug culture' idea behind Shameless; Also after the terrible Blunder, hang your head channel 4 (and David Mitchell for being involved) for ever releasing such rubbish I was not expecting anything, especially as it had been condemned to E4 anonymity, so much so that I missed all but the 5th episode.
I have to say it was brilliant, a breath of fresh air in sit-coms. Yes there is swearing and sexual innuendo, I'm not a fan of too much swearing on TV but this just seemed right, realistic without feeling it's swearing for swearing sake.
I watched the whole series re-run and could not have been more impressed with a new comedy. The characters are a typical group of decent lads who find girls a mystery and the art of social etiquette a sharp learning curve into the big step up between teenage school leaver and sixth form young adult.
The main characters are so well observed that you really do feel a part of the group, something I haven't felt since Seinfeld and that's big praise.
All the lead roles are played admirably, the feelings of awkwardness, peer manipulation and the oblivious ignorance of the real world are what this part of life is about, and you get all that plus some of the best comedy moments for years.
They gel together so well it's hard to believe you aren't watching a fly on the wall series at times.
Jay reminds me very much of Eric Idle in both his confident performance and looks, the 'Nudge, nudge, wink, wink' sketch springs to mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for teenagers 25 Dec 2008
Format:DVD
Imagine being taken out of your private school and having to go to the local comprehensive, trying to fit in when you clearly don't.

Poor Will, trying to make friends and trying to impress. There are lots of moments which make you want to cringe, especially the vomiting, on Nemesis at Thorpe Park and at the caravan club disco.

This is the sort of DVD to watch when you want to relax over a drink or two and not need to use many brain cells. It's fun, and had me laughing out loud, and as a middle aged woman I don't usually find juvenile humour funny!

5.0 out of 5 stars I hate to love this.... 31 Aug 2008
By herladyship VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
...as it's utterly filthy and vile (just like teenage boys) but I just can't help myself. What really makes The Inbetweeners stand out is the perfect timing of the actors and the little subtleties in their performances given that the script is anything but. Brilliant!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Simply Brilliant! 12 July 2008
Format:DVD
I bought this DVD after watching the series on TV.
I bought it because it is one of those things i will be able to watch over and over.

Its simply brilliant.. Remember at school, when the teachers pick on you.. You get bullied, newcombers come to the school and get completley humiliated?

Well this is it! But all in a comedy, and it is the funniest series i think i have ever seen!

It should be terrible but it's so the opposite of terrible I can't think of the right superlative. This series, and the second, are consistently brilliant.
