The Inbetweeners: Series 1 episodes

First Day

When his father walks out on his mother and himself,... More bespectacled, nerdy Will McKenzie is forced to leave his private school and enrol at the local comprehensive, where his accent and appearance make him an easy target for the school psycho. Seeking to make friends with 'normal' boys he pals up with Jay, Neil and Simon, but none of them are exactly winners, as is evidenced when they try to buy alcohol in a pub

Bunk Off

The four bunk off School and get drunk. Simon tells... More Carli D'amato he loves her by writing it on her drive way in big letters. It ends badly when Simon and Will's parents find out what they've been doing all day.

Thorpe Park

Simon passes his driving test at the first attempt, less... More on account of his skills than the fact that Tracey, the saucy examiner, finds him cute. As promised, he agrees to take his three friends to Thorpe Park, where he can get in free as he knows the man who clears up the sick. Once on the road, Will, Jay and Neil realize that Simon is a rubbish driver. (Until The Happy Foundation Shows Up)

Will Gets a Girlfriend

To the amazement - and annoyance - of the other... More three boys, Will wins a Blind Date competition which pairs him off with Charlotte Hinchcliffe, the most desired girl in the school, and he even ends up in bed with her though he keeps his socks on.

Caravan Club

The boys call Jay's bluff and agree to go to... More the Camber Sands meeting of the Caravan Club to see if it really is 'like a massive orgy'. Jay's dad is on hand to give advice on all matters sexual, whether they want it or not, Simon is falsely accused of rape, Will 'skids' and Neil leaves a surprise on Simon's car seat.

Xmas Party

It's the end of term and Will has been voted... More the chairman of the Christmas prom committee, an enviable position indeed.

"The Inbetweeners, though obviously aimed at crude teenage boys... captures the pathetic sixth-form male experience quite splendidly."

—

The Guardian

"(Beesley and Morris have) a genuine feel for the awkward beast that is teenage life."

—

The New York Times

"The Inbetweeners doesn't have a fresh, exciting new premise, but it does all of the little things right..."

—

A.V. Club

"The kids, or rather the young adults playing the kids, are all very good."

—

Los Angeles Times

"I was like Proust with the madeleines here, and therefore prepared to indulge Damon Beesley and Iain Morris's uneven dialogue."

—

Independent

"The Inbetweeners skewers the pangs of adolescence with broad laughs, likable characters, a fizzy Britpop soundtrack and enough candour to really resonate."
