Evening Standard, 14th September 2010The Inbetweeners series 3 episode 1 review
Unlike many of the youth-coms found on BBC Three, E4's The Inbetweeners is written with genuine wit, treading the fine line between broad and cringe worthy comedy, like a teenaged version of the superb Peep Show.
Jake Laverde, Den Of Geek, 14th September 2010Him & Her 1.2 review
Episode 2 of this superbly skuzzy comedy often limped in the first half, but managed to pull itself together for a ribald climax that gave me a seriously hearty laugh as the credits rolled.
Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 14th September 2010Series 3 of The Inbetweeners review
It's a new series of The Inbetweeners that continues with the same puerile, schoolboy humour that won't win over a new audience. Fans, like me, will enjoy it.

Arlene Kelly, Suite 101, 14th September 2010The Inbetweeners review
It takes an awful lot to make me laugh hysterically to the point at which my stomach hurts - particularly on a Monday - but the sight of Simon (Joe Thomas) unwittingly displaying his left testicle while modelling at the sixth-form fashion show did just that.

Dave Langdale, Geeks.co.uk, 14th September 2010The Inbetweeners Series 3 review

Nadia Sam-Daliri, The Sun, 14th September 2010Michael McIntyre loses his famous chubby cheeks
