Chewing Gum: this is the future of comedy
From its sex clubs to its seedy zoophilia rings, Chewing Gum is always close to the knuckle - and it's taking British comedy to gruesome, gleeful new heights.
Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian, 9th February 2017Will there be a third series of Chewing Gum?
No decision yet - but both the star and Channel 4 are believed to be keen for more of the E4 hit.
