[47] Fwends Reunited [ edit ] Across its three series, The Inbetweeners operated under the cover of the characters’ age and inexperience. The show got away with such crassness and puerility because it was supposed to be crass and puerile: these were children, fully loaded with ignorance, naivety and stupidity. It laughed at the pathetic wretchedness of their behaviour, poking particular fun at Jay’s lies about his sexual triumphs. It also knew how to craft a genuinely comic scene: Simon’s accidental exposure of his testicle on the runway of a school fashion show is base but undeniably funny. For all the vulgarity and insensitivity, the TV show was always redeemed by the setting and situation. Where The Inbetweeners truly jumped the shark was during its transition to the big screen, where its characters reached adulthood but the humour didn’t. The autumn hot list 2010 – 11.

The channel’s first original sitcom was met with a dismissive review by the Radio Times and tiny viewing figures. Just three years later, The Inbetweeners Movie was breaking records at the box office, the show had a Bafta award and the critics were fully on board the banter bus (the show has a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes). A decade on, The Inbetweeners has established itself as one of the most successful UK sitcoms of the 21st century. So how did this puerile tale of four idiots on the pull earn its place in the canon of great British comedy?

The story remained mostly similar besides small changes such as a scene in which Jay hires a motorbike, pretending he knows how to ride it, but failing by crashing into a wall. This scene was removed during the writing process for the third series as the pair needed a humorous way to open the episode and thought the motor bike scene would be better suited to the episode than the movie.BBC America began airing The Inbetweeners from 25 January 2010.
