Oh dear. It was already a very male show, but this week Dean Craig's campus comedy - a non-swearing, teenage Curb Your Enthusiasm mixed with The Inbetweeners - fumbles about in Porkies territory when Danny needs a subject for his Female Beauty photography project and lets Shane give him a few unethical tips. Still, it enables their misanthropic housemate Fred (James Buckley) to cruise past the clueless pair once more, and throws in an appealing romance to leaven the testosterone-fuelled horseplay. Next week's episode gets things back on track.

Being unrealistic doesn't stop Dean Craig's teen sitcom being a blast, and much of that's down to the comic timing of, and chemistry between, the leads. And although the cringe tips into misfire near the end, the naivety is largely likeable.
