Loot review

It's all tremendous fun and this is a production not to be missed.

This popular teen comedy-drama following south London musical trio Jay, Yemi and Davina (Calvin Demba, Ade Oyefeso and Shavani Seth) is back for a second series and eight more episodes. Following their bust-up at the end of the last series, the Youngers are no more, with Yemi an unwillingly convert to gospel, Jay laying down tracks with a novice pal and Davina struggling to go it alone. Of course, it's not long before their paths cross again, in an opener that finds the show as lighthearted and likable as ever.

YouTube jammers Mandem On The Wall play a pivotal role as this excellent comedy drama cranks up to its grand finale. With the Youngers lined up to play the Avengerz Krew Mixtape launch night, could there possibly be a happy ending in sight? Beyond the fresh new talent, what has made this series, starring Calvin Demba a stand-out act is its commitment to the music, which has a life outside the series - check out the E4 microsite for links. Now that's what we call inspired interactive integration.

The title means boys who are old enough to have an interest in adult matters, without being mature enough to mix it with grown-ups. Set on a London housing estate, Youngers follows two best friends who get their GCSE results in episode one and are in the process of growing apart, despite their shared love of music: one's a straight-A student the other a life-loving lothario. It's a familiar set-up for a teen drama, livened by crisp writing and two excellent leads: Calvin Demba and Ade Oysfeso.

Episode three of E4's music comedy-drama is packed full of teen awkwardness. A scorned Jodie circulates Jay's (Calvin Demba) collection of BlackBerry selfies, rendering him a Peckham pariah. Meanwhile, there are cringeworthy scenes galore for Yemi (Ade Oyefeso) as he continues to court Davina under the pretence of advancing her musical career. He can hardly conceal his crush, resorting to a fake phone call to feign popularity. Comedic, convincing take on today's teens, lapses in common sense and all.

This south London-set comedy drama about two teenage would-be rappers manages to be a curious mix of hip and heartfelt. It isn't hard-nosed and edgy but slickly directed and genuinely funny, with a very personable cast telling a familiar story. There are some nice touches, too, such as the cheeky young Greek Chorus who sit on the wall, constantly giving grief to the main characters. In tonight's episode Jay (Calvin Demba) attempts to get his phone back after the bust-up at the nightclub and Yemi (Ade Oyefeso) invites Davina (Shavani Seth) to his bedroom studio to do some recording.

It's Mic Star night at Boxes nightclub and best mates Jay and Yemi (Calvin Demba and Ade Oyefeso) are set to rock the joint - that's if player Jay can keep a lid on his lust and love-struck Yemi can stop staring at sweet Davina long enough to hit the decks. There's not much story in tonight's second visit to this fresh comedy but it's got personality to spare and the X-Factor-style bad rap acts competing for the Mic Star prize are a hoot.

First of eight episodes in E4's teen comedy-drama about two best friends from Peckham hoping to make it big in the UK rap scene. While Jay (Calvin Demba) has flunked his GCSEs, Yemi (Ade Oyefeso) has bagged a scholarship to a private school, making his Nigerian family proud. With everything changing for the pair, will their friendship survive? Appearances from YouTube stars Mandem On The Wall and a convincing script packed full of London lingo make Youngers current, compelling viewing.

Visage's new-romantic anthem Fade To Grey gets a surprising new lease of life in this fresh eight-part comedy drama that follows the fortunes of two teenage lads in south London. Both believe their future lies in music but with the arrival of their GCSE results, it looks as if best mates Yemi (Ade Oyefeso) and Jay (Calvin Demba) may be headed for different paths. With adult responsibilities kicking in, it's down to cult internet comedy trio Mandem On The Wall, outside chillin' on their wall, to share with us the joys of the University of Life.

That dreadful word "urban" will most likely be used to describe this series about two friends dreaming of making it in the music business.

Yes, it's set on an estate in south London but so was The Bill and that was never described as urban. Yet, despite the lazy shorthand, it lets you know exactly what you're going to get. It treads a well-worn path of tropes such as studious Yemi (Ade Oyefeso) being pulled by swaggering Jay (Calvin Demba) into undesirable situations. Thankfully it doesn't try hard to be gritty, but it's a bit flat.
