The Inbetweeners: series three, episode three

The Inbetweeners series 3 episode 3 review

There's a lot to like about this episode, including the way Jay and Neil mock Simon every time he mentions Tara's name (which, to be fair, is a lot).

Trinny And Susannah review

As they crash, moan, wail and stomp around, displaying a quite worrying readiness to flash bits of themselves, it turns out they are pretty good actors, or at least do an excellent job of keeping their faces straight. Although, given Woodall is an unashamed Botox regular, this is perhaps not as difficult as otherwise might have been.
