What are the cast of 'Misfits' doing now?

Here's a look at what some of those cast members are doing now, just over two years since the show ended...

Matt Stokoe as handsome barman Alex in Misfits (E4) would be in with a shout if there's ever a Bafta going for Least Sexy Sex Scene.

Both of his less-than-amorous encounters in the opening episode of this rollicking drama's final series were as erotic as a plate of cold semolina. And, it should be added, intentionally so.

The sending up of Alex's studly stereotype - he's granted a superpower which you just know is going to come back and bite him in the backside - is just one of the plotting pleasures of Howard Overman's clever storytelling.

Misfits is a show powered by its own internal logic, its character shifts continually catching you on the hop.

It takes itself not too seriously but just seriously enough to combine the potty-mouthed wise-cracking of Rudy One and Rudy Two (Joseph Gilgun, hilariously doubling up) with a spooky line in the supernatural, last night introducing a troop of Satanic scouts into the action.

This plotline climaxed in one of Alex's deathly bed scenes, his encounter with cheeky Scouser Finn - watched by a mouth-taped Jess - about as warped a ménage à trois as I've encountered without involving an illegal download.

If the rest of this farewell season is as good as this, then we'll be going out on a high.

Be still our beating hearts: it's time for the fifth and final donning of the orange jumpsuits for one of the most original dramas to hit British screens in the past few years. The personnel has changed but the dynamic spark between the super-powered community service group has remained constant, with Matt Stokoe's barman Alex getting a beefier part this time round. But it's Joe Gilgun,terrific as fast-talking Rudy, who has made the show his own.

The final series begins, just before Misfits slides into complete irrelevance. Which is a shame, given how brilliantly funny and imaginative it was at its peak. Now, it resembles a televisual Sugababes, with a rotating cast recycling familiar themes without ever quite recapturing the glory days.

Tonight's opener sees the members of the gang once again turned against each other, this time by a Satanic cult disguised as Scouts, with inveterate bedhopper Alex (Matt Stokoe) finally bedridden after a lung transplant and offered the chance to 'use your cock for good'. The cast are still game - Joe Gilgun's scatalogical idiot savant Rudy remains a superb comic creation - but the ideas are undoubtedly running dry. Let's hope that Thamesmead's finest get a climax worthy of their grubbily storied past.

The delinquents-with-superpowers drama has always excelled in its capacity for the surreal and tonight's episode is no exception. Rudy (Joseph Gilgun) leads Finn (Nathan McMullen), Jess (Karla Crome) and Alex (Matt Stokoe) to a wild house party. But things turn weird when a six-foot rabbit wearing a suit and wielding a golf club starts making a mess of the partygoers. Then Alex makes a confession to Jess about a stolen body part.
