TV review: The Inbetweeners

Ah, they grow up so fast don't they? One minute they're just cheeky little tykes, sneaking up under the radar to win an unexpected Bafta. The next they're, well, cheeky little tykes who with three successful series about being unsuccessful with girls are now too late-20s-ish to get away with it any more (apart from the inevitable spin-off movie).

The Inbetweeners series 3 episode 6 review

This series won't have won over any new fans, but it has provided some of the best episodes of the series history. It remains to be seen whether or not there will be another after the movie adaptation but the writers can rest assured that, with The Inbetweeners, they've created a minor classic.
